New Orleans Finale

Well, we’ve made it. It has been a long and amazing adventure, now 53 days later we are in New Orleans. We arrived in the city late last night after running a gauntlet of ocean cruisers, barges, and even a battleship. The last few days have been a surreal mix of industry and the river. Factories with almost familiar smells tinted with the scent of chemicals and large amounts of river traffic have been the norm. Jared and Kyle picked us up and we’ve been enjoying New Orleans. We’ll be back home tomorrow night and can’t wait to see everyone! We’ll be having a big show on November 30th at the Triple Crown with Mira! Look! and Muchos Backflips to celebrate a safe return and see everybody we’ve been missing for the last couple of months. Hopefully we’ll be debuting some new music fresh off of the river. Here are a couple of videos and some more pictures from the last week or so. We want to thank everyone for checking the website and being involved. We’ve really enjoyed the interaction the site has offered and we’ll be continuing the blog format, look for the Ghana blog shortly. Everyone take care and check back soon for more pictures, stories, and whatever else we can think of and hopefully we’ll see everyone at the show!

Natchez

We’ve made it to Louisiana, although currently posting from the Mississippi side of the river. Natchez seems like a great town so far and we’re in the public library here. The weather has been beautiful the last few days and we’ve been making great time, about 50 miles a day. We hope to be in New Orleans around Tuesday of next week. Still missing everyone and can’t wait to be back in Texas. Thanks to everyone who checks the site and comments, it’s always great to hear from everyone back home and even the people we have met on the trip. Hope everyone is doing well and we’ll see you all soon.
