DAY 7

After one last food experience at “Nawlins”- another brunch at Coulis, back to the road. Paul the GPS indicated the way to our next destination: our first hotel of the trip, a “La Quinta” at Dallas, Texas (our first of only three lodging nights in the entire 12 days road trip). We’d been told to expect for hard weather conditions in the state’s boarder, but the way was quite Ok, though long: 9 hours.

Syd is proving herself a tough driver, we usually just stop for “in and out physiological needs”. She drives, Mari plays DJ, does her manicure, takes photos and..blogs. We apologize for such a long delay in this journal, but our nomad experience has been pretty intense as you may imagine, and Syd’s been really tired by the end of day to take care of her edition tasks and Mari is also finding it pretty hard to write in the car...

Today we took I-35 (interstate) from Louisiana to Texas. It was a long straight way, and in order not to get bored or sleepy, Syd put the car in automatic speed, legs up to make herself comfortable, and started calling her friends in Colombia in order to “desatrasarse”, or get updated with the latest events. She usually has no problem with managing her phone and driving at the same time, but after this day, Mari decided to buy her a “hands free” asap.

By the time we were getting into Dallas, we were blessed with one of the most amazing sunsets we’ve ever seen.

We didn’t do much this day besides drive and co-drive, so here there are some of the pictures of our day out on the open road.
