From the Emerald Coast to Bourbon Street to San Antonio

It's amazing to me how our country is so different. Driving from Florida through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana to reach Texas is quite an experience. In Lousiana on I-10, we drove over the 10th longest bridge in the world (not over a body of water). The Achafalaya Basin Bridge is about 18.2 miles and carries you over swamp land, parts of which were absolutely stunning. Texas brought cacti and Bluebonnets along the highway. Texas, by the way, is a very big state if you hadn't noticed. I am sure the scenery here will change abundantly.
