West We Go.

The day of rain let me rest after the New Orleans tour, the colorful neighborhoods, the bridges, ferry boats, etc. I was ready at dawn to walk thru Gretna on it's main drag of old, 4th street. I was called into the bar/diner beside the police station and the welcome center(tiny train station with a caboose along side) where the local gents were gathered to solve the worlds issues at the long table, the liars table. The tales they spun could fertilize a large garden. Next to them sat Gretna's finest. With a little help from the liars club I was able to get a patch from the city before I rolled on to the canal crossing and then back to US-90 heading West. I passed under the Huey P.Long Bridge ending the day in Westwego. A good day of lively conversations and Intereting people.
In this World of goals and schedules I suppose I should set my sights west. Texas sounds lofty enough. No promises of where we'll go from there or how long it will take to get there. Everyday I talk to people encouraging them to walk helps, wherever I am. Sometimes the message takes hold. A woman I met last winter as I walked past Cape Kennedy sent a communication, she had walked over 12 miles in one day and mentioned me to her Facebook friends... warm a fuzzy...
West we go, for now.
