A big THANK YOU to all of you that have welcomed me back. It's great to be back.
I had a great time in the Southern States of America, I first went to Disney World in Florida and met up with my Husbands brother and his wife and we all had a great time.
We then went down to Louisiana and met more family and had an equally good time, and travelled to Mississippi for a day to look at the old Plantation houses, some of them were huge. Unbeknownance to us we went on National Tourist Day, which made it much more interesting, and the State Line information centres had foods from the different cultures, spread out so you could taste them. Sorry I did not like Crawdaddies, they tasted to me like Scampi and I don't like that either. I liked Catfish though, and the fried chicken and Gumbo.
When we went to New Orleans and saw some of the devistation that Katrina made it was awful, and what the people had done to the Superbowl was werse, it was like a ghost town not a soul around and no shops open, I hope it picks up again. Two of our family has a cattle farm and we went there for dinner and one of the cousins is a Law Inforcement Officer, and he let us have a shot out at some targets which was fun, as we don't have guns here in England.
All in all our trip was good, the weather was fantastic, and then we came back to rainy dreary old England and boy is it cold. BUT its HOME, and as they say there is no place like home.
