Louisiana: first impressions

Louisiana is flat, hot and windy.....but it definitely isn't Texas. There are swamps and bayous along the roads, and today we rode past crawfish farms and rice paddies. The wind has been strong and relentless, making a 70 to 80 mile ride seem much longer. Tomorrow we are riding to St. Francisville and staying at an old plantation that is now a B&B for a rest day. We are all ready!!! Longer post on my day off.
