Natchez Paddleboat/Steamboat Dinner Cruise

What a beautiful evening. Went on the dinner cruise down the Mississippi River. Weather was beautiful, food was good, service was good and the Dixie-land music was so nice.

We met a couple from Ontario Canada and enjoyed their company very much. Hopefully we will see them again. We exchanged info.

Got to see where the levees broke during Katrina. Did not realize that the French Quarter wasn't really hurt, but it was primarily the ninth ward which is out from the downtown area. Of course the ninth ward is what was so devastated. I'm sure we'll learn much more tomorrow on the tour.

Was very surprised to learn that the  N O Port is the biggest port in the world. Savannah looks bigger and busier.Also learned NO is 100 miles from the Gulf by water and 60 miles as the crow flies.

Will check in again as we do more. Having much fun and really looking forward to seeing babies and grand-babies.
