Deep in the heart of Texas .......*clap clap sing sing*

House in Lake Charles across from the Lake

Howdy You'all .........From deep in the heart of Texas coming to you live from Houston. Started this morning from Lafayette and headed West along the Interstate 10 toward Houston. It was a damn good idea to set goals and have clear destinations in mind!!!! We decided to stop at Lake Charles. We cannont figure out why but it seemed familiar. We drove around the not so rich part for a bit then came across the richer section...... if you will. Right on the lake and these divine little houses hanging out across the lake. Just the place to BBQ and have drinks and nibbles with friends. As far as we could figure ~ The main house is on that side of the road and the little Lake House is out along a jetty on the other as they seemed to match. We just wandered about and stretched our legs for a bit then got back in and away we went! We are enjoying looking at everything but I must say I am becoming quite stressed with the Highway driving. Everything flows smoothly ~ sure ~ but DEAR GOD is it scary!!!! We had a HUGE truck beside us and he started wandering over to our side of the road~ we think he couldnt see us. Well I can tell you Fab Readers ~ the Old Fab Poodot contracted to the point I am not sure if it will ever unclench again!!!! Geezuz!!! I grabbed Mr Fab which was really REALLY bad and its only that he remained calm as I was going OH OH OH OH OH as this truck got closer and closer to us. I am not exactly sure what yelling OH OH etc will do but it made me feel better as I rose off my seat in pure fright. My new and shiny husband *simper* should get a bloody medal for being Awesome as he is a Fabulous driver and shows no fear!!! Me on the other hand will NEVER get behind the wheel in the good ol' US of A!
Ohhh no no no its never going to happen.
After getting back on to Interstate 10 West we kept on till we crossed the border into Texas. From there on its been Longhorns and BBQ!!! *lol* We laughed out loud at the Petrol stations which have these dodgy Casinos attached. Seriously!!! You fuel up and go to the little Casino attached. We have as mentioned in previous posts ~ a GPS. We both hate her. Literally hate her as she tells us we have screwed up AGAIN. Yes she is very polite about it but we managed to get ourselves hopelessly confused as we tried to find the Hotel. Keep Left Keep right Keep left Turn right......we have figured out that keeping left means trying to get over lanes and lanes of traffic so we tended to keep right unless we could get over!!! Even Mr Fab started to get a teeny weeny bit stressed by the end of it. The roads are overlapping, overcrossing, over the top under that one over this one loops and loops and more loops!!! The traffic was starting to get busier as the day wore on and we have come to the conclusion it might be a good idea to get off before about 3 in the afternoon. We were going to keep going to San Antonia but made the decision to stop in Houston and regroup.

On the MAD MAD Interstate heading toward Houston Texas

So ~ there is another day of the Fab Adventures done and dusted. Not sure where we are headed tomorrow but kind of up the middle would be an apt way to describe it.
