Still no go on photos, so I'll just tell you what we've done.  I really didn't take any pictures anyway.  We're in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.  You wouldn't believe all the Mardi Gras stuff in this part of the world.  It's very big! We are watching a parade on TV as we speak.  (Kinda cool.) The Mardi Gras celebrations started while we were in the Houston area.

We went down to Galveston to see how much had been repaired since the Hurricane.  And we saw ads for their Parades on the weekend.  Glad we missed it. It seems that every little town has a Mardi Gras parade. We were celebrating your dad's birthday.  We drove the whole island's Sea Wall Dr.  It's a nice tourist spot.

From Houston and the noisy RV park (right on the I-10) to Lafayette, Louisiana where we were way out in the country.  Nice and quiet!   From there we went to Avery Island to the Tabasco factory.  Then we went to the Konriko Rice mill.  Of course, in the two days we were there we ate lots of yummy Cajun food. Crawdads are in season now.  We had a good time there .  The people are really friendly.

We got rain last night (boy Howdy) and the Robins are in huge flocks eating bugs etc. in the grass.  It's still 37 degrees and it's 10:20 am.  After awhile we might drive into Biloxi to view the Gulf some more.  It surely is pretty down here.
