Two Favorite Stops Along I-10: Cajun Country & The Gulf Coast

We’ve made the trip along I-10 from Texas to Florida more than a few times.

Swamps and Bayous

In only a few days, we’ve moved from the high mountains of New Mexico to the low lying swamps and bayous of East Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The days and nights are warm and humid, the flora and fauna semi-tropical, and the southern accents are as heavy as the morning fog rising over the swamp. […]
