Day 40, basically Poplarville, MS to new Orleans LA

It was one of those unexpected good days but it was great overall. Initially I was thinking that I was just going to try and get to Frankville, no New Orleans and no Halloween. I was sad about it but accepted it. Then it happened...

Called up Kevin (beloved cousin) and he made it happen. New Orleans. Halloween. Kaboom.

The wind was in my face before Kevin and then I started traveling south having it at my back. It was glorious, I was built for speed. The sixty miles to travel just clicked off, so easy. Downhill with wind? Do I even need to pedal? Too easy.

So I posted up at a bar in Slidell waiting for a ride from Kevin the rest of the way. Nice little taco and beer place appropriately called tacos and beer. Overall delicious, great brew.

Got picked up and drove into town and what a place! Went to different bars and had a blast of a time. What. A. Time. Love new Orleans, I might never leave. Jazz clubs everywhere
