Westard bound and a homesick 'roo

He's back.  After our visit to southern Florida we headed north and our bouncing little mate caught up to us after his unfortunate encounter with Orlando's finest.  Understandably, he seems a little homesick for Australia.

We're on our way west and hope that our little roo perks up with a change of scenery.

The Everglades were really good, not somewhere originally included in our plans, but we're glad we spent some time there.  Of course we loved the balmy Florida weather.  Today we are in Louisiana, and we've been back in jeans and warmer clothes since Alabama.  There is a lot of swamp on the drive here.  Yeah, everyone knows that this is a wet area, but there is really some serious swamp.  It is a relief that it is not mosquito season... sometimes cooler weather can be a good thing.

Although we have missed the huge Mardi Gras celebration, we're all looking forward to trying some of the famous cajun/creole cooking in New Orleans, not that any of us are starving.  The other night Phil and Chris made some delicious wild pig ribs on the weber with Sweet Baby Ray's sauce.  Yum! 

Hmmm...looks like that 'roo wants to box, I've  got to find somewhere to hide again.
