Just a few more pictures from our trip to
Louisiana.

Br'er Rabbit was first recorded.

Look at this porch.

I can see myself sitting in one of those rocking chairs

and looking at the Mississippi River all day.

Oak Alley Plantation, 

just a short ride from Laura

This is what I alway imagined a true 

southern plantation should look like.

Including the old oak trees.

Ah, the pretty trees..

And yes, when you are in

Louisiana you need to do....

...a Swamp Tour!

Honey Island Swamp

and

the Pearl River!

Yep, it's what it says...

The nature and wild life was breath taking...

...and so close..

...and smiling...

It was the most amazing thing we did in a while.

Never thought I would see a gator close up

in mother nature.

Honey Island Swamp is a true paradise,

I hope it can be preserved for generations to come!

Just in case you interested in visiting
