My husband’s birthday fell near the end of the trip. We adjusted the trip dates so we could spend his birthday in New Orleans, a favorite stop of his for many years. Unfortunately, if you’ve been following the Grand Tour closely, you know this didn’t happen. Our luggage saw New Orleans, but it isn’t talking about what it experienced there. Since New Orleans didn’t work out, I’d like to share some of the lovely scenery from New Mexico from the windows of our Southwest Chief bedroom.
