Lafayette.... Cajun Country! We got the greyhound from NOLA to Lafayette, not bad, and found the blue moon saloon pretty quickly, dropped our bags off and headed over the road to Bordens Ice Cream parlour, super cute! We had a pretty relaxing couple of days there catching some rays, getting multiple mosquito bites and getting pretty merry in the bar downstairs of an evening :-)
From Lafayette we hired a car to drive to Austin and off we went! We arrived early afternoon and dropped the car off at Austin-Bergstrom and my cousin Tony came and picked us up :-) we went back to my other cousin Julia's place and got changed and headed out into Austin :-)
We started in the W bar where they had a locally produced grapefruit vodka, dangerously tasty! Then we headed to a steakhouse where we had a couple of cocktails and complimentary champagne and tequila for being English!! Lovely Texan steak :-)
The next day we visited auntie Paula :-) and her littler dog chico :-) then headed to Dallas where we head a great night with some of tonys marine friends and wives :-)
The next day my sheenareemarana left :-( and I headed to Fort Worth, Cowtown! We had some Texas BBQ and also visited the stockyards where we watched a Texas Longhorn cattle drive and I even got to sit on one! Big Jake!
We then headed back down to Austin for my cousins homecoming reunion at their old school, San Marcos Academy, what a crazy fun weekend that was! I meet some absolutely lovely people and had such a good weekend! I wish I'd gone to SMA! :-)
And I've actually caught up with myself!
I'll write more when I've done more :-)

Gam Hi you Just thought that I needed to contact you as I have'nt written anything to you for a while. We are sitting in our local pub watching the England game. So far they are 2 up Oops the other team just scored! What a lovely way to spend a Friday night out! Still, Peter is keeping me supplied with the odd vodka tonic so really can't complain! Hope you are still enjoying yourself think of you all of the time. Love you too much Gam and Peter xxxxx
