Goodbye New Orleans

New Orleans was fun and we probably could have spent an another two days there knowing what there was else to do but was definitely happy leaving the humidity of the city. Inara was happy to leave the smells of the city as well.

It was a on and off rainy day as we made our way to West Pensacola in Alabama. We drove from Louisiana, through Mississippi and then to the border of Alabama and Florida.

We stopped at the welcome Center at the border of Alabama and Mississippi hoping for a touristy route for sightseeing. The plan was to do a bit of sight seeing and stopping numerous places but the rain wasn’t ideal.

Next to the welcome center was the Infinity science center which had a rocket outside it so we took photos of it but we didn’t want to go to another museum as we went to one yesterday.

The drive was pretty flat and there were beautiful old southern houses along the Mississippi coast. It is definitely an area I would like to check out in another visit.

We did stop to see one of the oldest cast iron Lighthouse. The Biloxi Lighthouse was erected in 1848 and was one of the first cast-iron lighthouses in the South. It is the city’s signature landmark and has become a post-Katrina symbol of the city’s resolve and resilience.

I had my fancy camera out to get photos of the lighthouse and ocean, and a guy came up to me and asked if I would take photos of him
proposing to his girlfriend.

We got to the KOA in West Pensacola and checked into our accomodation, a covered wagon.
