November 14, 2016. Minden, Louisiana. Food.

The food in Louisiana is just better than in other places.  This evening we ate at a deli attached to a gas station.   The location was just across the street so the distance was perfect.  We has spent enough time in the car already.   The clerk at the Holiday Inn Express recommended the place.  She was wise.  The food was excellent.  We three ate the same thing, a bowl of sausage and chicken gumbo.  It was excellent.  When we arrived just after 7:00, a group of four people were just leaving.  They were dressed for an evening out even though they had just eaten dinner at an unimposing deli.  Quality food is always a draw.

For the first time in my life this afternoon we three stopped at a Sonic for an ice cream treat.  Around 4:00 we needed a break.  Perfect.

We did well today.  Suzanne drove the whole time.  The Subaru drove the whole day on a three quarter tank of gas.    Certainly beats the truck.  And it costs us $30.  to fill up.  Tomorrow we have under three hours of driving to get home on Roses Bluff.   Our drive today was lovely, on highway 79 almost the whole way.  We saw beautiful farms and hundreds of cattle.  Now we will be on Interstate 20 right across Louisiana.   Good food and good company makes the hours speed along.  The traffic was light all day.  Tomorrow will be a different story.  But we are getting there.
