Day 20 – New Orleans to Fort Payne, AL


We dropped Steve and Megan off at the airport and then started the seven hour drive up to Fort Payne, AL, which we chose as a convenient stopping point.  There were only two things of note on the trip.  First was the 23-mile bridge across Lake Pontchartrain.  The lake is so wide that you can’t see the other side when you start the trip so it gives you an eerie feeling of driving off into nowhere.  The second thing was the CD of Creole String Beans that Steve bought for us.  We played the CD at least twice during the trip to supplement our books-on-tape and we still liked the music we heard at Jazz Fest.  The trip was uneventful except for some heavy rain around Birmingham.
