DAY 22

We drove north today toward Shreveport, Louisiana, but a sign for the historic district in Natchitoches caught our eyes, so we decided to stop there. We had good luck with interviews, but found ourselves wilting in the muggy heat. Time for lunch. We enjoyed bowls of etouffee in a nicely air conditioned café (Mama’s Oyster House). This afternoon, we continued driving north until we hit Interstate 20, took a left turn and headed for Fort Worth. With our arrival in Texas, we’ve visited 27 states in 22 days.
