Friday was our day off from fixing houses so Greg and I decided to head over to the Bayou...
Beauvoir
Beauvoir was the last home of Jefferson Davis and it was the site of his retirement. |

Drive along the Coast to Bay St Louis
Bay St. Louis is a quaint little town, very near to the town of Waveland, the spot where the center of Hurricane Katrina hit the shore.
Honey Island Swamp Tour - link >
Our interpretative boat tour took us into the 250-square-mile Honey Island Swamp. Honey Island, located 50 minutes from New Orleans in Southeast Louisiana, lies between the East Pearl and West Pearl rivers.
Part of nearly 70,000 acres of a permanently-protected wildlife area, Honey Island, earned its name because of the honeybees that inhabit the hollow old cypress trees in the bayou.
