November 11

We camped at Fontainebleau State Park campground— an absolutely beautiful campground across from New Orleans on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Lots of photos from around the park since it was so gorgeous.

Pretty fancy bathhouse
We love all the Spanish moss

We drove north on Highway 61– a beautiful, low traffic highway with few billboards. A comment about billboards. For the last couple of weeks 70% of the billboards we have seen are for personal injury lawyers(they must be making way too much money) and the personal injury lawyers are predominantly Caucasian male.

We arrived in Natchez, Mississippi, the oldest settlement on the Mississippi River and had lunch at Magnolia Grill. Decided to try southern bread pudding with warm bourbon sauce. We are eating way too much(and no pool workouts for Steve or the gym for me) but we want to experience some of the regional foods.
