Bridges and water all around us

We found out this morning that we could not stay at the National Park in Ocean City because everything had been reserved mainly because of the car show. So after a walk in through the woods and along a small river and swamp we packed up and headed out toward New Orleans.

 We put our sights on Grand Isle State Park. The park is literally at the southern end of Louisiana with water on three sides. We are right on the gulf with only a short walk over the sand dunes from the beach. We paid for four days and we look forward to some down time. Because we are so far out there isn’t much to sight see and it’s too far to run into New Orleans. When we leave here we will move closer to New Orleans and check out the sights then.

It was a very pretty trip into, through and out of New Orleans; it seems things are only accessible by bridges here. There bridges everywhere and some are very long; the last bridge we had to take was eight miles long.
