Sundays Temps: High 78º,
Low 62º
Another warm and humid day today. Not
unwelcome as this is what we came down here for. Did not have any
touristy plans today. Wanted to get some shopping and wash done. I
decided to make a loaf of bread this morning. Did not want to heat up
the camper by starting the oven so baked in the dutch oven. Turned
out pretty good but need to remember next time to put more coals on
the bottom and fewer on the top.

Once the bread was done we headed to a
seafood market just a few blocks from the entrance to the campground.
They have a variety of fresh fish and shell fish. They had cray fish, blue
crab, shrimp, red fish, red snapper and several other kinds of fish.
We purchased 2 pounds of jumbo shrimp for $5.50/pound. Then went to
Petsmart to get buddy some dog food and then the grocery store.

It was 5 o'clock by the time we got
back. We then had to head and clean the shrimp. We made a pasta dish
with fresh shrimp, lemon, basil and spinach. With a Jazz station
playing on the radio it was just like eating in a fancy restaurant.
While we were eating we heard a commotion outside. Coming down the
park road was a group of bicyclist with their bikes all lite up. I think it was a bike Krewe! It
was pretty cool.

Never did get to the wash. Oh well.
There is always tomorrow.
