Remember this ABBA song? It sure popped up in my mind today as we travelled through this state. And just before we enter Louisiana we cross the Ole-Man-River.
We started real early again at 6:45am and made headway through Alabama, Mississippi and now Louisiana.
The town of Minden,LA has its namesake in Germany and also in Canada. German heritage marked the beginning, but today I think there is very, very little German culture left in this place. Bea was reading off from the city stats, and the poverty rate sits at a remarkable 35%.
But I guess that is a development cherished by the GOP, cause poor people are more easily manipulated.
But let's not go there today.
After all we had an efficient travel day, making the most of daylight hours.
