Kinda Cool

Fun day! The downtown area is cute -- small but very quaint. We went to the arts and crafts fair. Forgot to bring cash so couldn't buy the pretty but affordable crafts and it was fun none the less.

Lunch was shrimp and oyster poor boys, yummy! Great introduction to the south. Then, on to Avery Island where we got to see how they make Tabasco. Who knew it was such a long process? They ferment the peppers for 3 years. But, it wasn't that factory that was the most impressive, we really loved Jungle Gardens. Lots of crocks, deer, and birds. There was even a Buddhist temple!

Yes, it was a great day here in Timbuktu and it all ended with a wonderful dinner at Ruth's Chris. What could be more local?
