Finishing up With New Orleans

New Orleans was really fun, but sadly, we had to leave. Oh, wait. I didn't finish the story.


Phewf. Well, we went to the AMAZING hair place called Beauty on de Bayou. I highly recommend it. It was really amazing, and I really enjoyed it. I got this AWESOME hairdo, and it looks like a seashell. The person who did my hair had some fascinating stories about Hurricane Katrina, and I really enjoyed hearing them.


Then we drove down to the end of the Mississippi River, and hid a cache. It was really fun. I shouldn't have told you about that cache. Whoops. Whatever.


You didn't hear anything... (does that penguin twirly... hand... thingy... motion, [c'mon, Madagascar, anybody?] and then realize I look retarded, go to the bathroom, and work on it until I get interested in some book and read it for an hour or so, and then scold myself for not working on my blog.)


We drove up the Mississippi, to Baton Rouge, spent the night and kept rolling (bah bah bah, rollin' yeah, rollin' down the River!) And that's Baton Rouge.


We drove up to Natches, and got some cotton, for my Humanities teacher, and saw this fascinating museum about African-American abolitionists, and continued on up to Vicksburg, where we learned about the battle. Here is a link about the significance of the battle.

We drove up to Clarksdale, which was pretty boring.



There actually is a funny story there. We were in the hotel, and we had left some stuff in the car. I had to go get it, but when I tried to open the door to get back into the hotel, it didn't work. I had to go through a dark alleyway on the side of the hotel. I went into the alley, but (gasp!) got stopped by a cop.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! He questioned me about a murder and robbery, and then let me go. It was scary.


And then we went to a bunch of other places, which I will write about LATER!


Sorry this post wasn't funny.


So, anyways.


Elektra Out.
