Day 197

2016/03/19 Houston/Humble - Diamondhead (USA)

In the South of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi the coast regions are momentarily flooded due to the heavy rain during the last weeks. For four days our route over the Interstate 10 had been blocked because of the flood. Klaus already programmed various diversions in our navigation systems yesterday. But a last online-check this morning brought the good news that the I10 has been re-opened since last night. The World Tour Team was lucky again!

We started from Houston and alongside the coast roads we could see the floods.

On the hotels parking lot we came in touch with the former basketball player Mike. Together with his wife Suzette he now manages the nearby restaurant Big Shirley's. There we had dinner, South-State and Creol food, it was delicious! Everybody who travels here should have a visit. Very recommendable!
