Monday, January 26, 2009, began with sunshine which soon turned to gray, cool weather. In front of the KOA is a county two lane river road, a grassy levee, and then the wide Mississippi River. We can see the tops of the ships go by. At the suggestion of the manager, we drove to Destrehan Plantation. (See pictures). It was very educational. We toured the main house, the cook house, the slave quarters, the laundry building, the above ground lead cisterns, saw the mule barn large enough to hold 22 mules, and shopped in the Plantation Visitor's Center.
To get a flavor of local food, we drove to Kenner and had a seafood dinner at Johnny Trauth's Seafood Bistro. To us, it seemed like a cross between Skipper's and Red Lobster.
