Bienvenue en Louisiana

Well Sarah and I left San Diego at 6:00 AM Wed. morning to make it back to Louisiana by Friday, giving us the weekend to get settled before I would head back to school.  The first night I planned on stopping in Las Cruces, NM which was about a 10 hour drive and then head from there the next day and check out Austin, TX.  We arrived in Las Cruces about 5 pm and checked into our hotel which wasnt too bad.  For our night in Las Cruces we thought we would try some mexican food as Las Cruces is the chilli pepper capitol.  The mexican food was decent but we notice a weird drink that was served in New Mexico called chelada.  Didnt look appetizing to me.
After getting back to the hotel we checked the weather and it called for thunderstorms in Austin so we decided to change plans and head to Houston which would give us a short drive on Friday of only 4 hours.  We got on the road at about 8 and started the long drive again as the day progressed we decided to skip Houston and make it all the Lafayette that day.  This would give us a 16 hour day of driving.  I thought it was worth it to sleep in our own bed and save the money that would be spent on a hotel.  We made it into Lafayette around 1 am and didnt even unpack.

  

Its good to get back and finish up my last year of college though as much as I don't want college to end.  These last two semesters shouldn't be too bad.
