Day 11
Another day, another change of address. After the phony paper bit and breakfast, Don got dressed and took me for a very good walk into the field next the RV park. The place was littered with the little castles that the crawdads build. There were thousands of them! It was like a crawdad farm! Some of them were six or eight inches tall. I sniffed several of them, but they just smelled like dirt. Anyway, it was new and different and non-threatening, and I like that. After our walk, we got the rig ready to go and headed east again. When we got to Lafayette, we headed north. This was our first departure from Highway 10 since California, except by mistake. We took a nice freeway, Highway 49, up to Alexandria and then headed east again on Highways 28 and 84, until we reached Vidalia, Louisiana. We pulled into a RV park there, called the Riverview. They call it that because it has a view of a river. What a river! This is the biggest river I’ve ever seen! I wouldn’t want to have to swim across it, because I hate to swim, and the river is way too wide. Don says it’s the Mississippi River, the biggest in the country. I can’t dispute that, because my knowledge of geography is somewhat limited. But it looks like a great place to go for walks, and Geri took me for one down to the path alongside the river. There are a lot of squirrels around, and they like to be chased, so I obliged them. Don stayed in the coach to fight with the TV again, and I think he lost. The people in the office told Geri that their TV system was working really well until they had to shift to high definition (whatever that means), and then it went pit bull. That’s an expression I use to describe things that are not good. So, without our satellite TV, our antenna barely pulls in a PBS station. We went shopping at a WalMart, went back to the rig, and Don fixed some stirfry veggies and chicken, which I thought was very good. We turned off the TV’s and listened to music on XM radio, which I thought was a nice change. I got all of my evening treats, helped Don with the blog, and went to bed. Geri and Don soon followed.
