American Road Trip with St. Scooby Doo Day 7 Natchez Miss. To La Fayette

Day 7 out of Natchez , which was a good job as the town flooded that day

so on our way out.. down a dead end street this is what i saw,, nature has taken over the buildings

Pen in Scooby waiting,, patiently i will add

 Then stopped at the tourist information for a good hour.. quite interesting reading they have on the walls.. so we decided to look at an old plantation house that never got finished  on the way
first sight of drippy Louisiana trees.  Oooh we are now in the Bajou

belonged to a woman, who after her husband died couldnt afford to finish the house to the grand plans he had for it ,, so she raised her kids in the basement.
Not allowed to roam about on your own in case you went up to the ground floor i suppose or encoutered the DOG? .. so we had
whats your name where do you come from game..  which went on a bit and the now normal.. oh from  the UK but you will miss the wedding.. DOH

Shot below taken before my mouth and body saw a big branch before my eyes did.. OUCH  fat lip

 Stopped for lunch and tried curtesy of a lovely girl in a restaurant.. we actually ordered something else but she brought a bowl of etufa for us to try.. boiled crawfish in a tomatoey spicy brown gravy.. very nice.. in fact she brought even more.. Thank you and sorry cannot remember your name or your cousin's.. did get some shot but they are on film and pick up tommorrow (bet their crap through if not will post)

 Oh no.. back on the road.. i spy horrid fg bridge and i was  driving but thank goodness..Pen is now.

. oh dear. i try to keep her entertained.. The bridges are massive and seems there is a point in the distance where you just fall off.... hee hee.. glad im not driving.

spot of light reading on the way.. everybody happy .. YAY

 Just tittered.. how silly of me... ooh its getting hot now AC on

 Lots more clapboard houses and a really bad one next to the railway crossing

ok so i saw a large armadillo intact but we couldnt stop.. i like the roadkill here in fact i am developing a morbid fascination for it and Pen is now searching for them....the next one we see I am shooting.

 and then ... and then.... i spy 3 boys on horseback... stop (on the road between Marksville to Bunkie)
can i take your photo?     reply ????    so they stopped and what a beauty.. I am soooo happy.. if I dont get another the whole trip i just won't care. 

Im driving now.. and Pen has booked a room at the Blue Moon Inn, (we are lucky it is the last room left)  they have a saloon bar downstairs and that is where the artistes stay. 130 dollars.. bit pricey but the Lafayette international festival is on .. good good.
 Now in cajun county.. on to the blue moon .. nice hippyish feel to it and nice room.. unfortunately not with toilet and no shower in it. however 2 tickets for free beer given.
onto the festival..  Good music.. and all through the streets.
Near a fountain.. i spy some shots.. asked if I could photograph her child playing.. yes.. great news..
Dear Mother of the child (sorry I have forgotten to write your name ) i have loads of these shots and

would be happy to send them to you.. 

 I have no idea.. why...

Below best shot for me of the festival.. love the joy in her face

 lots of gold teeth in the baptist boys

legs belonging to a gospel band who were performing at the festival.. shot in the grounds of the Blue Moon,, they gave us a performance or 2.. very good
