Stuck in Breaux Bridge Louisana

Marsha here, with a travel update.  Breaux Bridge is pronounced Bro Bridge.  We left FWB, FL on Saturday, June 4.  On Sunday morning we were having an enjoyable trip across the vast waterway and swamp between Baton Rouge and Lafayette, when we stopped for gas near the interstate, at Beaux Bridge.  C started the RV up and she drove to the exit of the gas station and was getting ready to pull out onto the highway, when the engine died.  It was an electrical problem.  We were blocking one of the entrance/exits to the Shell station.  The good news is, we were not in the middle of the highway when this happened. Whew!  C called AAA and they got there in ten minutes.  He said it was probably the alternator.  He kept his little battery jump machine on the battery and let the hood rest on top.  C started the engine and was able to drive across the highway into a vacant parking lot, where we were out of the way in a safe location.  Being Sunday, no automotive places were open.  We had “The Blazer” in tow, so C disconnected it, then we gathered our gear and went one exit back to the Holiday Inn Express, and K booked us in for the night.  C called the KOA in Texarkana and asked them to back our reservation off for a couple days until we could get back on the road and actually make it there.  Then we got to relax and swim and read books.  On Monday C and K went to the Ford garage, which was about one-third of a mile from where the RV was parked. They were swamped with business, but they said they would be able to put a new battery in, then drive it that one-third mile to the garage.  They finally got that handled around 3:30 on Monday afternoon.  C was exceedingly relived that the RV was finally off the side of the highway and in their parking lot.  K went ahead and booked us for two more nights, as we are hoping Ford will get it repaired by the end of today; which is Tuesday.  Since it is after check out time, we are staying over tonight, even though Ford called and said they have the RV all ready to go for us. Not having a full day to travel, we would not make it to Texarkana anyway.  Meanwhile, we were going to go shopping at this amazing looking art/music/bookstore that is next to our hotel, today.  C took a walk around the parking lot this morning and discovered they are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  So sad.  Right now, K is in the pool.  We are going this afternoon to get the RV back.
