The weather continues to threaten with below freezing temperatures at night and cross-winds on Interstate 10. Trailers were blown off the road on Friday (we saw one!). Pipes have frozen and burst on campers in campgrounds. But we are lucky. We feel blessed to just be missing the worst of the abnormally severe winter weather that is hitting these southern states!
In Kerrville, Texas we lunched with Dave's Aunt Arlene and two of her children and their families. Anna and Billy are shown here with their six adorable kids! Rebecca and AC joined us with Lydia and Ruth at Billy Gene's restaurant for a fun lunch. It brought back memories of a similar meal we had with these two special families in 2011. So good to reconnect again! We drove on to San Antonio and camped in the RV Park on Fort Sam Houston Army Base. 
Sunday, January 26 (Beaumont, TX)
In Beaumont, we had a repeat visit with Dave's cousin, Bob, and wife, Pam. We even got to go to St. Anne's again for Sunday evening mass, another experience from 2011 that we enjoyed so much!Monday, January 27 (Gulfport, MS)
We left Bob and Pam this morning to drive the rest of the way through Texas ( we drove over 900 miles in this state!). We drove through Louisiana; in Lafayette we found the Blue Dog Cafe (recommended by Scott and Fran) - absolutely excellent Cajun food! Then we departed from I-10 to take scenic hwy 90 along the white sand beaches of the Gulf, passing several wood sculptures that were carved from trees killed by Hurricane Katrina. We are camping tonight at the Navy SeaBee Base in Gulfport. Blessed again, we arrived without a reservation and got the very last campsite!
