Well – the last few days have been spent dodging BAD weather.  The national news carried a picture of a funnel cloud that was originally shown on the local College Station news – within shouting distance of where we were!  Leaving there – the next stop was Baton Rouge, LA, where a state of emergency was declared due to tornadoes and flooding;-(  Somehow, good karma surrounded us and once the storm passed in College Station it was sunshine the rest of the way for us;-)

So – the campus tours continued and next up was LSU on the banks of the mighty Mississippi – which was particularly mighty as it was at flood stage!!  Louisiana State University had its origins in land grants made by the US government going back to 1806.  Very different from Texas A&M – more like University of Texas, Austin – in that the town was encroaching on all sides of the campus.  Still a beautiful sight, especially with all the welcome blue sky – –

Tiger Stadium from the bridge crossing the Mississippi River into Baton Rouge.

A shot across the parade ground toward the Law School building.

A round of golf on the LSU course was on the agenda.  Due to the condition of the course, it is good that this is NOT where the LSU golf team plays;-(  Giving the benefit of doubt – it is possible the course was under water just a few days before.

Tiger Stadium in the background – Geaux Tigers!

I think we were smiling because we were almost finished with our less than stellar rounds of golf.

Baton Rouge was really just a quick stopover to take in a day of LSU.  Happy we did it, but need to keep moving.

E & G with one more campus under our belt (and one more golf course;-)!!)
