Louisiana Bayou Country

We spent last night just outside Baton Rouge. The most exciting thing we did was visit Bass Pro Shop. It was different. The two-level store was decorated to resemble a true Louisiana Bayou complete with moss-laden cypress trees, home to stuffed turkeys and bears; a realistic Cajun swamp shack surrounded by water filled with catfish and bass; real wood ducks floating along, and a huge snapping turtle. We ate dinner at the restaurant accessible from inside the store. The huge fish tanks inside the restaurant had some very unusual species, including a zebra stripped moray eel. This was a close as we got to the real bayous.

Just crossed over into Mississippi. Should be home by Wednesday night.

See you soon.
