Sunday we said farewell to people we had chatted to at the
camp site bar and set off down the I-10 heading into back into Texas. The rain lashed down but it is good to see
the swamps looking full. Further up the
Mississippi they have to dredge the river to keep boat traffic moving as the
water level is so low. The river is a
major transportation route for produce, such as grain from the more northern
states, putting it onto the roads would increase costs (something the UK could
think about)
We spent one night in Beaumont and then carried on south to the
town of Victoria. This part of Texas is
very flat, very similar to Holland. The area is appreciating the rain as they
have been in a drought situation since 2011.
We are now listening to Spanish TV and radio channels and Mexican
restaurants everywhere.
