Natchez, MS

Inside court of the hotel where we stayed last

night in Baton Rouge, LA.

 

One of several homes in historic St. Francisville, LA.

 

I was quite impressed with the flowers

in front of this house.

 

The courthouse in historic St. Francisville, LA.

 

The Mississippi River is eight feet above normal

and within two feet of flood stage.  The trees

would normally be on dry land.

 

Grace Episcopal Church.

The Episcopal mission was set up in 1828 and

the church was refurbished in the 1860's.

 

Rosedown Plantation.

 

Wherever there is high humidity and warm

temperatures, Spanish moss will grow.  I just

had to have an artsy fartsy picture of it close up.

 

We had one of the most wonderful

meals here in historic Natchez, MS.

Everything was fresh and full of flavor.

The beer was cold and the view of

the Mississippi River was extraordinary.

 

A view up the street from where we had dinner.

 

We crossed the bridge into Louisiana to look

back at historic Natchez.  Here you can see

a paddle wheeler has been converted into

a casino.

 

This is the Natchez Bridge as seen from Louisiana.
