Day 13
Jennifer Alden (Monday, January 22, 2001)
We went back to Cafe du Monde for more
coffee and beignets, browsed through the French
Market and the Flea Market, shopped for souvenirs, packed up the car, and
headed towards Mississippi.
Jennifer had watched one too many movies about the south and was a little
nervous about being an interracial couple driving through Mississippi in a car
with California licence plates. But we felt brave that morning (Mississippi welcomed us) and decided to take
the smaller scenic byway 90 instead of I-10. Ironically, this took right
through the Gulf Coast resorts, a string of mansions, casinos and tourist
spots right on the waterfront that is probably the most ritzy part of the
state.
Slightly inland, however, we did pass a few places that looked more like the
sterotypes we'd expected (shacks and more shacks). We drove on through Biloxi
(Mississippi) and Mobile (Alabama) and spent the
night in Pensacola (Florida).
