Hello to all from Mississippi still!!! We have been here since Wednesday, April 8th and will be here until Monday April 20th.  We like the area but that isn't why we are still here.  It has been raining everyday.  Some of you may have seen on the World News that New Orleans, Gulfport, Biloxi and the Gulf Coast has been under a flood and thunderstorm watch and warning every day.  We have decided that we will have to come back to do New Orleans as we can't seem to get a break in the storms.  Rain 10, New Orleans 0. 
We have been exploring around this area when we get a break in the rain.  I told you about Beauvoir and the Rte 90 ride around Biloxi.  Yesterday we had 3 hours without rain so we went west on Rte 90 and explored Pass Cristian, Long Beach and Bay St. Louis.  We stopped in Bay St. Louis and had a drink at a cute little bar and restaurant.  Sat right on the Gulf of Mexico and the view was lovely.  There was actually this round bright ball in the sky.  Someone said that it was the sun.  Couldn't prove it by me.  These are pretty towns that are still recovering from Katrina.  We took some pictures that Jack will load to show you how high the pilings are when they rebuild.  We really noticed the empty lots in this area.  So many historic buildings that are just gone.   I think seeing the empty lots really gets to me.  Every place we drive that is what you see.  It is just so very sad.
We have also been shopping.  I find that we substitute shopping for sightseeing and that gets expensive.  I am ready to tour!!!  We have taken some time to clean out drawers and clean all those things that need done at least once a year. 
We are heading to Dallas on Monday.  Will take us an overnight and then we are going to be tourists.  Can't wait.  We are also hoping to meet up with my cousin and her family.  We will probably be in Dallas until next Saturday then on to Oklahoma.  Stephanie, here we come!!!!
Well, not to much else to report.  Not sure what we will do tomorrow.  Maybe the movies. 
Talk to you soon.
