Washington DC Oct 23 ‘18

We finally made it to Washington. 1300 miles (2100km). Over two days with a stopover in Nashville. What a ride, and some of it quite spectacular. The part where we took the Natchez Trace highway was perfect (thank you Norman Sanders for that suggestion). I missed it at a loo stop, but the girls saw a big crocodile (or was it an alligator?) at this lakeside break.
When we got to our Airbnb in Washington, Gopi & Raag dropped in with goodies (= food!) and we made the usual round of plans that would absorb us for the next days and into the wedding at Annapolis.
The first day we saw the usual - The Lincoln Memorial, & a special favourite was the MartinnLuther King  memorial.

NOLA-Natchez Oct 22 ‘18

We I decided that part of the trip would involve a road trip, A drive up from New Orleans to Washington.
My biker friend Sandy, will travel versus immense distances on his assortment of bikes a recommended this route for us. The Natches Trace is a spectacular drive through the forest.
1300 miles (that’s 2100 km). The plan was to get there in 2 days. Our first stop was at Natchez, a brief layover in a motel, and then up to Washington. It was a great ride....
