Oct 22, 2018 Adventures in the South 5 - Biloxi and NOLA

We had a planned slow and lazy start this morning, because we had a relatively short drive from Spanish Fort, Alabama to Biloxi, Mississippi. The delta region started in Alabama; we crossed Mobile Bay, an estuary filled with golden-green grasses and a plethora of birds of many types. There were few autumn leaves seen, but many wildflowers. Fall has not yet hit the Mississippi River delta region.

Originally, our plan for today included Randy working a day in the Destin FL office. Due to Hurricane Michael, the office is closed as families are dealing with the aftermath, and Randy's appointment was cancelled. So we chilled out in Biloxi, along the West Beach Boardwalk.  This was Bryn's first visit to the Gulf of Mexico, so there was no doubt that feet were going into the water.
After Biloxi, we crossed Mississippi and entered Louisiana, state #47 for the Sportsmobile. We rolled into New Orleans at the beginning of rush hour, got to our hotel, then went out for dinner. The photo is of Lake Pontchartrain from the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. Unfortunately, no photos of birds because the camera on my phone is too slow to catch them.
