New Roads, LA to Gonzalez, LA. 69 miles. Flat
A nice hotel breakfast got us on the road by 8:15. It was pretty hazy and foggy when we crossed the Mississippi River in the first 10 miles. We were on major roads with wide shoulders most of the time today. A different experience than the quiet country roads as of late. The noisy traffic made it hard to talk to each other.
A lot of petrochemical plants and industries were along the route today.
We went through Baton Rouge and connected with the Mississippi River bike path. It was on top of the levee by the river. We also saw the LSU campus nearby while we stopped for lunch on by the bike path.
We couldn’t find any campsites that would work along the route so I booked a holiday inn offroute with my points. We have a warmshowers reservation for tomorrow and Sunday in downtown New Orleans so we can spend a day sightseeing.
Graber cycling 
That dinner looks amazing!!!
