January 29-30-31st. 2019 Houston Tx.

I fugured I had better catch up on our last few days!!
We arrived in Lafayette Louisiana late afternoon on the 29th, to the Vermillionville Historic Museum where we had scheduled an over night stay. They told us we needed a full day to tour the area so we set up the motorhome and relaxed.
The next morning, the 30th, we started the day and boy was it eventful. It took all day to see this entire area all about the Cajun (Acadian People from France). And how they came to be here, all about their growth here. There were actors that portrayed them and told us stories. I have a great video of an accordion player, a real French Cajun descendent. He was fabulous. Also met a lady that still to this day gins cotton by hand, spins into thread and looms into blankets, dish towels, and clothes. A fun fun day well spent!!
We said our goodbyes to those at the Museum and thanked them for a free nights stay on the property.
We pulled out about 4pm and headed on toward Houston Tx. After driving 3 hours we stopped at a Cracker Barrel, had supper there and slept for the night.
We arrived in Big League City Tx. just outside of Houston at Safari RV Park where will will stay for 5 days. It started raining about 2 hours after we arrived, but that gave us time to get the motor home set up for the stay here. We discovered we have a broken gear on one of the big slide outs on the motorhome so that will be a repair for Rod, hopefully we can find parts. The manager, Wendy,  gave us names of people and places to call for help and information.
We also have friends here that we have known from boating, Bob and Norma Lawrence. They live aboard a big Traweler like we had named Firefly. We will meet up with them tomorrow.
Praying the rain ends tonight (looks like it will) we will be tourist again!!!
