Hello Everyone,
It was cold and very cloudy on Tuesday morning. Left Mississippi around 9am. Stopped in Meridian, MS....I was looking for carousel horses!!! LOL Do you remember the Cows from Boston and the Whales from Cape Cod, and the Clowns for Sarasota??? Well Meridian has Carousel Horses. I arrived in Meridian around 1pm, and started looking for the horses! I found quite a few, but not all of them. I love carousel horses!! So this was very fun for me that day. After about a hour of looking for horses, I was back on my way to New Orleans.
I stopped at visitors center after crossing the state line. I also took the time to find a place to stay. I booked my hotel online. I was going to stay at the Ambassador Hotel in downtown New Orleans! (got a great deal online)
I arrived at the hotel around 5:30pm Things were really bustling downtown. You could still see the damage left by Katrina. Many boarded up buildings- some had been burned out, some water damaged. I saw "THE" Bourbon St. LOL
The hotel was very nice. It was originally an old warehouse/factory. So there were a lot of unique features- like wooden floors, and large windows...and many more!!!
Was looking forward to a good nights sleep in a bed- My back was killing since I had spent two days in a tent!!!
Well off for now- bbfn- Take Care- Love Donna
