Trip down to Naples

Our condo in Naples and that black blob is a bird - on the outside of the screen

Okay wow, we made it. Three days in the car leaving in a blowing snowstorm. Take care Star Mt.! We happily had an uneventful trip other than long, and the restaurant dinner plans held without even a blip for seating even though it was the weekend, and we were fully prepared for the long wait. Football interfered, or graced us, either way. First night was Friday, and high school games rule, and second night lots of people and then suddenly big drop off after the home state #1 ranked Alabama team lost. Oops...

Marched through our beloved mountains and others on the way out. No more mountains for awhile.

COTTON not snow - Texas, baby.

And you know what these are, makes the country go round

This country is so interesting - in landscape and people. Who has gone to all 50 states? Impressive whoever you are.

First dinner hurray McBride's in Wichita Falls, TX Great, great steak. And those are saddles up high.

swamp on the Atchafayala River

the Mighty Mississippi

Now we were in the deep south. More vowels than the rest of the world and good hearted people all over the place. This bridge was endless, and apparently covering the largest swamp in US. Louisiana between Baton Rouge and Lafayette.

Hurry, hurry our second night restaurant was awaiting - The Original Oyster House in Mobile AL. On the water, many years in existence and GREAT seafood.

And we made it the first night in Naples to one our favorite sushi restaurants - Sushi Thai. So fresh and good - yeah.

Duck outside our condo relaxing

So here we be, well rather here I be, put Mark on a plane to St. Louis this morning for a business trip till Thursday. Oh, and give me some credit (or the camera) for most of those travel photos - took them in the car through the windows in motion.
