To recount the in- cident briefly we were hauled into the local jail on a charge of speeding. I am not a reckless driver and the incident took place because in this particular part of the United States the speed limit on high- ways changes from night to day. Our explanation to the local police that we were not aware of this fact proved of little avail and in accordance with the laws we were fined $15.00 and allowed to proceed on our way. 9 Days-4000 Miles And 14 States The weather was gloriously hot and we were glad that in the morning before setting out we discarded our winter woollies and donned our summer clothes. In our haste to leave on the trip we had forgotten to pack a travelling iron and by this time we were taking on a rather creased appearance but concern for personal ap- pearance was of little signif- lcance in comparison to the joys and excitement of the trip. That night we stayed in Cull- man and the next. morning crossed the border of Tennes- see and into Alabama.

Sunday evening we renched the outskirts of New Orleans and stayed in Slidell. Approaching Slid- ell there was a short piece of dual highway that we were compelled to take and while traversing it we met a car approaching us on the wrong side of the road. When we got over the shock we all agreed that our plan of following the secondary roads was a very good one indeed. ‘ The antique shops in the ‘first street that Jean and I walked through were so fasci- nating that we had to restrain ourselves from tarrying other- After visiting the famous French market we toured the entire French quarter by car and admired the graceful bal- conies that adorned the many small buildings. We slowed down sufficiently to peep through into the courtyards at the beautiful little patios hid- ing themselves like little sanc- tuaries behind the shops and houses. We loved everything about the French quarter and although our visit was only a brief one it was quite obvious to us that it is set up especially for the tourist. The look of some of the antiques is just nating that we had to restrain ourselves from tarrying other- wise we would never have had time to see anything else. We walked to Jackson Square which seems to be a paradise for artists and here Lesley had her portrait done in charcoal while Frances. herself a budd- ing artist. watched over the shoulder of the painter.
