Bayous

Today we drove from Galveston Island, TX to New Orleans, LA.  One of the interesting bridge structures we travelled across between La Porte and Baytown, TX was the Fred Hartman Bridge shown below.

The view across Louisiana includes lots of bayous. Bayous are commonly found in the Gulf Coast region of the southern United States, notably the Mississippi River region. The state of Louisiana is famous for its bayous. 

There were long stretches of I-10 where the expressway was built on cement stilts to pass over bayous. 

The Superdome is a familiar sight in New Orleans.

Below is a picture of Rusty's house in Kenner where we will stay for a couple nights.  He too has orange trees and a grapefruit tree in back.  We enjoyed the ripe fresh fruit in addition to Rusty's tasty Gumbo for dinner!
