Mobile and New Orleans

New Orleans - Swamp Tour - 9/27

 

This morning we slept in.  We were slow getting going.  About 10:00 AM, the maid knocked on the door.  This got us moving and we were out and about shortly thereafter.  We look for things to do today.  We book a swamp/bayou tour and then after thinking it over make it a combo swamp/plantation house tour.  We are to be picked up at 12:30.  This gives us time to walk about Jackson Square, browse through a couple of antique shops, and have lunch.

We get picked up at 12:40 and it off to the swamp.

A couple of the alligator photos below are pretty good (if I do say so myself!!!).

The swamp.  One of these swamp photos has an alligator in it.  Can you find it??
