Abbeville, LA
We left Mermentau River RV Park & Marina around 10:15 this morning and made it into Betty's RV Park in Abbeville, LA an hour later. My last time here was 5 years ago with Barb. Betty say's things have changed around here but it looks pretty much the same to me. We'll be here for 2 weeks before heading next to Biloxi, MS.

Lake Arthur, LA
Well we left Galveston around 8:30 this morning heading to Louisiana. We took the ferry across to avoid the Houston traffic. We have stopped for 3 nights at the Mermentau River RV Park & Marina in Lake Arthur, LA. Their mailing address is Gueydan, LA but they're closer to the small town of Lake Arthur. It hasn't changed much since the last time I was here some 4 years ago in April 2011.
One thing has changed though, Verizon put up a tower and we have internet
access here now. It's a weak signal so but it works most of the time. We have a spot
right on the river with a covered deck over the water. We came in just as a
rain storm hit the area. We'll hold us here until Thursday the 19th when we have reservations to get into Betty's RV Park in Abbeville. Mermentau River RV Park & Marina is on a fresh water river and lake with access to the Intracoastal Waterway and
the Gulf of Mexico. I looked at this place once with the idea of it being the home for Shangri-La Cruises.

Johnson Space Center
Nancy and I went to the Johnson Space Center in Huston today. It's been many years since I've been there. The first time was back in 1971 when I had a personal tour of the center by an Air Force colonel who worked there and then again back in 1987 when I flew down from Oklahoma City with a bunch of Civil Air Patrol cadets on an Air Force C-130. I went as their bus driver once we landed at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston.

Galveston, TX
After 4 weeks in the small town of Palacios, TX we headed down the road to our next stop, Bayou Shores RV Resort in Galveston, TX. We have a site right on the water. I took Nancy out to lunch and an island circle tour of Galveston stopping at the Coast Guard Exchange to pick up some necessities.
