We finally learned that we could park the coach in storage at Rio Robles and so quickly started the packing process for the rest of the day. We then met Dave and Lois for dinner and headed back for an early to bed.
I got up at my usual early time, but this time got Foxy going too, and by eight we had parked the coach in storage, put Max in the back seat, and we were on the road. We headed east on I 10 through San Antonio to Houston and onward to Baton Rouge. We stopped for the night in Hammond, and Max finally got to have a longer walk and the freedom of our motel room, which is considerably more room than he had all day.
We went to Applebee's for dinner and were served by a delightful young lady who does not want to be a waitress her whole life and is completing her senior year of college, majoring in criminal justice, and then on to law school. We encouraged her to stay in school and to get that law degree. On the way out of the restaurant we visited briefly with the hostess and asked her if she might be French. She proudly admitted she was 100% French and wanted to know how we guessed. We admitted that she typified a young French woman who was petite in feature, and being our reserved usual selves, had to ask ,of course. The resulting conversation by Foxy included, " Tre bien" and "Enchante!" We left laughing, and the hostess was left with a smile, as well. Such a lovely evening. Great fun! Now home to bath in a tub, which we can not do in our motor home, and maybe a bit of reading and then to bed. Happy travels.
