We went to the Chalmette National Park. It was a self guided tour around the park right on the Mississippi River. The War of 1812 culminated into the battle of New Orleans with 6,0000 British troops trying to overtake New Orleans in the winter of 1814-1815. But the local militia succcussfully Held their ground. This is actually known as the last battle of the War of 1812. Cap’n Rod read every sign and EVERY plaque so he would be glad to discuss with you ANY issue or questions about this battle. LOL
We also made a TV debut while we were there!!! We were interviewed by a local news crew WDSU about the reopening of the national parks. We saw the interview on the NBC news at 6pm. We can run but we can not hide !!!! Lol
We stopped and purchased a famous Muffuletta!! It’s a 12 inch round sub roll filled with 4 lbs of meats, cheese and an olive salad!!! We enjoyed that on a picnic table at the park!! Had more of it for supper and still enough left for lunch tomorrow!! I have a pic of the monster to share!!
It’s was a grand last day here. Freezing temperatures tomorrow morning so don’t know when we can leave but will check and make sure roads are safe before we head on west. A one day stop in Lafayette Louisiana before we stop in Galveston Tx for a week.
Love to all, Please pray for us a safe journey!! Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
