Washington, LA

So today was quite a day...we did 95 miles and instead of camping out Bubba got us all rooms at the Holiday Inn Expess... great showers!!! And a TV to watch - wasn't sure how to operate it :-) and electrical outlets to charge my stuff... it's the little things in life that make a difference!!

The ride today was really pretty - we rode past wheat fields, rice fields, crawdad ponds - it was really nice... the wind sometimes was in our favor depending on which way we turned. At mile 60 we stopped at Fred's Lounge(bubba had suggested us not to miss it). What a great stop. Zydeco music from 9am to 2pm.. It was just foot stompin' great fun dancin' and just having fun... First I danced with Steve and stepped all over his toes, then danced with Ted and we did okay... then Rand and I did the fast zydeco and that was great...love zydeco music and the beat!!! After Fred's Lounge we went to Frenchies across the street for some real Cajun food!! Another Po Boy... Off to the last 35 miles with a stop for a Snowball which is like a snow cone only not the shaved ice...this is really good! Finally we made it to the Holiday Express and enjoyed a nice dinner and now to bed...

Tomorrow proves to be another interesting day with a ferry ride across the Mississippi river and staying at the home of some avid cyclists who now support all riders coming through their town!
