Georgia

Atlanta - its fitting I am watching CNN. First though NEW ORLEANS ROXS. Let's just say Mardi Gras is on my radar for sure - March 8, 2011. An interesting place to say the least, I did try beniet's at Cafe Du Monde and true to the hype they were delis mmmmm so good. I was also able to try chicken gumbo mmmm and I did try the hand grenade drink which is beyond potent. Good thing it was only one. I enjoyed walking around the French Quarter and just listening to the music and the people watching that was pretty cool.

While I was pumped to drive down I am not as excited to drive back :( so I left New Orleans to hit the road in the am (knowing I am so going back for there) and drove to Biloxi on the Gulf Coast and man it was soooo sweet and beautiful. I could not see any oil but the beach was sweet. Loved it. The drive through Alabama this way was much nicer then the route down. It is such a beautiful state, at one point I was driving on a bridge that was about 15 kms over a swamp and the mist coming up was jaw dropping gorgeous. I came as far as Atlanta, I feel as though I need to have pecan pie if I am in Georgia so tomorrow that's my priority.

Tomorrow there is a church service for my late maternal grandmother and aunt on the reserve. I obviously will not be able to make it and will go to the Ebenezzer Church here in Atlanta; then hit the road again :p I am going to go through the Smoky Mountains but not stop in Dollywood I am excited to see the mtns and maybe a bear!
