ALOHA EVERYONE!!!
WHEN WHERE AT TRACEY'S IRISH PUB, BARTENDER SAM HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT WE SHOULD GO TAKE A SWAMP YOUR AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID!!!
IT'S A GOOD 45 MILES AWAY FROM OUR STAY AND WE KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A NICE DRIVE IN THE EARLY MORNING!!!
AND WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!
VICKIE WANTS HER ALLIGATOR FIX... LOL!!!
WHAT AN AWESOME TOUR, WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT HOW THE SWAMP'S ECO SYSTEM CONTRIBUTES TO THE WILD LIFE. WE SAW ALLIGATORS, WILD BOARS, RACCOONS, TURTLES, AND SEVERAL BIRDS. I LEARNED ABOUT THE CYPRESS TREES AND THE TUPULO HONEY HARVESTED BY THE BEES OFF OF THE TUPULO GUM TREES, THE ONLY HONEY THAT NEVER CRYSTALLIZES!!!
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL HOT MORNING WITH A NICE BREEZE TO KEEP US COOL. WE VENTURED DEEP SOUTH AND PASSED BY SEVERAL BAYOU HOMES RIGHT OFF THE OLD PEARL RIVER WHICH IS ALSO LEADS TO THE BORDER OF MISSISSIPPI.
AFTER OUT WONDERFUL TOUR, WE HEADED TO EAT LUNCH AT THE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SOUTHSIDE CAFE.
VICKIE GETTING HER BLOODY MARY FIX!!!
MAN THIS PLACE SERVED SOME SERIOUS FOODS AND IN HUGE PORTIONS TOO!!! JUST GO AND EAT HERE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!
AFTER THAT WE TOOK A DIFFERENT ROUTE BACK TO OUR PLACE GOING ON HIGHWAY 90, MAN IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE!!! WE PASSED BY ALOT OF BEACH HOUSES AND SAW ALOT OF SHRIMP BOATS LIKE THE ONES ON "FORREST GUMP" MOVIE.
LET THE VIDEO BELOW DO ITS JUSTICE!!!
WE ALSO HAD TO MAKE A STOP AT...
I ATE HERE THE YEAR BEFORE AND LOVED THE BAKERY SIDE OF THIS AMAZING VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT, ANOTHER RECOMMENDED PLACE TO EAT AT TOO!!!
I PICKED UP SOME GOODIES TO BRING BACK TO ALASKA!!!
AND WE ENDED OUR DAY!!!
