Memphis and beyond

Memphis was great but rainy...we still spotted Elvis.......




Visited Beale Street - birthplace of the blues and lots of BBQ.


Percy-Quinn State Park in southern Mississippi....we saw this sign after we pitched our tent (visible in the background).



Bienvenue a Acadiana! Cajun Country is amazing!




Gumbo, crawfish etouffe, and catfish......oh my!




We camped at Poche's (Po shays) Fish'n Camp - so wonderful we didn't want to leave.





Louisiana is full of suprises....like this Zydeco band going full tilt at 9:30 AM!





And the dance floor was hopping. We sat with two lovely ladies from Baton Rouge who helped us get our feet wet on the dance floor......we provided the comic relief :-)





Acres of sugarcane fields were being harvested






Lawn ornamentation Cajun style





Banana trees behind our tent made us smile





We toured a Bald Cypress and Tupelo swamp on Lake St Martin - the largest White Ibis rookery in the world.




Beautiful!





Spanish moss




Adieu for now!
