Leaving New Orleans for East Texas

As we were leaving the city of New Orleans we peaked over the levee to see these ships stuck in the fog on the Mississippi River. It seemed very spooky.

Ever wonder how rice is grown? South Louisiana is home to many rice farms. The fields are covered with water and drained at certain times to facilitate the rice cultivation. On some fields you can see small wire traps sticking out of the water covered fields. These traps catch crawfish, a tasty treat in Cajun Country.
