We got an earlier start on Monday so we could swing through San Marcos, TX to visit with my mom’s aunt and uncle, Betty and Merwin. After a couple hours at their house, we headed to Luling, Texas where they treated us to some authentic Texas BBQ. At the City Market where we ate, Merwin went the back room, and Betty and us found a table to sit at. Pretty soon, Merwin walks out of the room with mounds of BBQ ribs, brisket, and sausage wrapped in freezer paper. In the meantime, Betty goes to get our utensils, which included only knives!! Merwin gave us our plates, which was one sheet of freezer paper, and then we began to dig into the food, with only our fingers! It was very different, but kind of fun! It was great seeing them, and they are doing well.
We continued on the road for an additional 4 hours before we FINALLY got out of the wonderful state of Texas (880 miles after starting it). We made it to Baton Rouge, LA for the night. We didn’t get a chance to see what Baton Rouge was all about, since it was dark when we came in, but we did get a chance to see a Louisiana swamp before the sun went down! Tomorrow we will reach our final destination of Pensacola, which is only about 4 hours away.
