Gulf Trip

Stayed in Memphis for a night, New Orleans for three nights, and on the beach at Gulf Shores, Alabama, for four. On the way home, we visited Kathy (and John) at IU in Bloomington for a night and a day, and tailgated the Indiana-Illinois game. (Click on the following pix for a larger view...)

A little gator

On the bayou heading into the cypress and spanish moss

Local camps that the guide called Indian Village

Obligatory sunrise shot from the hotel balcony in Gulf Shores...

...and sunset

Jo's out there under that middle umbrella

Up the beach east toward Pensacola, FL...

...and down the beach west toward Mobile, AL
