Happy Martin Luther King Day All!

Headed into New Orleans to tour the town this morning.  Day started rather unusually, heard Jet growling at the door, and went to investigate.  Some folks walking by in their PJs didn't seem all that unusual.  Wait, those aren't PJs they are convict red and white striped clothes.  Its the convicts picking up the trash.  I had heard Louisiana had some rather different penal institutions.  Anyway works for us.  As Jet and I ran down the nature trail and out on to the alligator boardwalk we noticed more inmates cleaning, raking and keeping the place in good order. 

Nice spot on shores of Lake Ponchatrain just across causeway from NO.  And the cheapest we have stayed at, a state park full facilities and nine dollars a night.  They know how to treat their senior citizens here in Louisiana.
