After planning, talking about it with everyone we know, postponing, waiting for the hurricane-free season, stalling a day for a chewed up engine belt, it is finally happening! My husband and I are on a road trip through the Southern States, from Santa Cruz California to Savannah Georgia, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. We wanted to do this for a long time but never found the... time.
It must have been the book 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil', or all the Hollywood movies, I feel the need to discover more of North America, the heart land. I have no baggage, I have no hang ups. I was born and raised in Italy. I am capable to accepting people of all personalities, as long as they are good people. I believe that in the world the majority of people are of a good nature, and those are the people I want to meet on this trip.
I love to make connections, whether we are soaking in the campground jacuzzi, or waiting in a museum line, or having a beer in a bar. I love a good story.

Day 37 - Austin to Rockport
The Goose Island State Park is a beautiful place to park your RV. The moment I stepped out of the car I saw a red cardinal bird. So cute! Each RV area is well spaced and hidden in between trees. At night all is quiet and during the day, bird songs are filling the air.
We take a drive to Rockport. It's not the most happening place. It's Sunday and it's foggy. In the warm weather, it must be more alive than this. We drive through the residential area of Key Allegro. I finally see the damage caused by hurricane Harvey in August of 2017. Many of the jetties have been wiped out, many houses off stilts have new windows, others are boarded up. It's a lovely area with canals in between house rows like in Venice. Each house has its docking area. We look at home values on Zillow...not too bad.
