Brrrrrr in Baton Rouge LA

Heavy rain since early hours........camping is nowhere near as much fun in the rain !!
We got rather wet hitching up the trailer but it dries up after about half an hour or so on the road. Todays journey is another shortish one, along the I-10  just a couple of hours.....as usual when crossing over into a new State we call into the visitors centre and not just for a comfort break ! As usual the visitors centre staff are excellent and here as at the Mississippi Visitors Centre they have complimentary coffee :)
We had ear-marked a Camping World just off of the I-10 who we hope can help us with our a/c problem. Unfortunately they can't look at it for 3 days and as we want to move on we hope there is a mobile repair guy at our campsite. We did change out our faulty "outside" chair so all was not lost.......
Phew there is a mobile RV repair guy and he is now our new best buddy, seriously he was great, it was as we suspected but wanted to make sure, a leaf caught in the a/c fan. He also gave us advise about other issues......

This and next pic is our first sighting of The Mighty Mississippi
It was really cold overnight (we can feel the sympathy from back home !!) and although blue skies today there is a very chilly wind.....

The Baton Rouge Veterans Memorial

The Old State Capitol Building,

 The fabulous domed ceiling of The Old State Capitol Building
A really interesting building and museum

Ornate second floor

As well as being a museum the building is now used for events and weddings

Magnolia Mound Plantation House
Not one of the most impressive plantation houses of the area but was convenient and we had time to spare.     

A slave hut of the plantation
We had fun talking to the volunteer guide, she has visited England several times as part of a football (English football) tour.....
A good day in Baton Rouge....brrrrrr it's a cold evening.........
