Road trip to Mississippi and Lousiana

March 2008

Nacogdoches town in TX

Try to pronounce the name!

Yummie. This is a place to go for crawfish!

Spice it up a bit more, love...

Not particularly welcoming weather in Mississippi.

The famous Mississippi river. Pretty big!

An antebellum home – from before the Civil war. We slept here.

Isn’t the TT matching me really well?

Øystein wondering about the advantages of slavery – a cotton plant.

Some sort of old traveller’s lodge.

No need to even drive though. Just park, order and eat.

These Americans....

A cotton plantation. Slaves lived in the little white cabins.

The bed didn’t look very comfy.

Definitely not my kind of a bathtub.

A cotton plantation. Slaves lived in the little white cabins.

A cotton gin – this machine improved the productivity incredibly and cotton farmers became really rich.

A pile of cotton.

More cotton.

Another antebellum house.

This is the actual house from the movie ”Gone with the wind”. We slept there.

Doesn’t this look scenic?

Coming to New Orleans. Highway on water...

New Orleand is full of houses like this one.

N.O. is a big party place.

Mystical N.O.

And some more great food in amazing settings.

Text: ”On this site in 1897 nothing happened.”

Refreshing sense of humour...

N.O. historic cemetary

Swamps

More swamps...

More swamps...

Cuddling a gator baby... She was very soft and smooth.

She would surely make a lovely handbag in 10-15 years

Crawfish!!!!!

Thump thump...
