Our cotton experience was a visit to the Frogmore Cotton Plantation which was over the river from Natchez. The plantation still produces cotton with a very modern cotton gin but also retains the cotton gin and accommodation from the old slave days. Seeing these acres of cotton brought back memories of me as a kid pinching the cotton and peanuts that grew around our villa when living in Egypt.



















 
Thanks again for calling in folks, I hope your all enjoying the show.

Moving on from the cotton plantation we had us a visit to one of the big old homesteads in Natchez. These certainly are regal homes and just for fun a couple of shots of the grand old Mississippi that "just keeps rollin' on"

















 
Aaron, I have to be honest with you, I'm a great lover of fish particularly shell fish but the crawfish did nothing for me and yet here we have similar fish called 'yabbies' and they are delicious. I have a feeling it was the way they were cooked, way too much sauce.
 
Many thanks for sopping by folks. After Natchez we mover on towards New Orleans but also did a bit of a stop-off and another plantation home which I believe was called "Oak Alley Plantation". I know that many of these houses were built on the backs of slave labour as were many of the stately homes in England, but you have to give them their due, they are very grand particularly here with the huge shady wet oaks of the southern states.

























Here we are on the road again and ever closer to New Orleans as we skirt the edge of Lake Pontchartrain.
