Red stick

We moved across to the capital of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, literally meaning red stick. On route, we stopped at a Plantation house used in the 19th century, which was interesting.

Then on the other end of the scale, we went to the Tobasco Museum where we got to taste A LOT of different flavours including soda and ice-cream!

We went on a driving tour up to Natchez via lots of pretty scenery of woods and farming, with occasional glimpses of the Mighty Mississippi. Although we preferred the drive back down through Mississippi state proper after Natchez.

We headed back to N'Orleans for our last night with Sara, basically involving a lot of food and a few beers: lunch at the place Obamas go to.....

.....coffee and famous beignets (doughnutty) in City Park, amazing oysters and beers in local bar.

Thanks for visiting Sara, we squeezed in way more than normal and really got under the skin of Louisiana!
