From Hot Springs, Arkansas we had to go back to Texas in order to get Livy inspected for vehicle registration. The closest point to do that was Texarkana on the Texas-Arkansas border. The inspection only took minutes, but we spent one night at a campground in Texarkana. Our next stop was Lafayette, Louisiana in the heart of Cajun country where we tried boudin and crackling. Boudin – yes, crackling – ok in small amounts.
Then we headed to New Orleans where we met up with my sister Denay who had driven our car out. We are nearing the end the first part of our trip and wanted to have our car, which had been stored in her garage in Austin. It was wonderful seeing Denay again!
We spent a day walking around the French Quarter – I love the iron work on the buildings in this area.
