The second night was in Buccaneer State Park in Waveland Mississippi off the coast, west of Gulfport. The entire park was demolished by Katrina 8 years ago so it is practically brand new with the rebuilding of this entire area.
What a beautiful area! There are some remnants of the destruction still visible, but most places are rebuilt or at least in the process. Hard to believe that after 8 years, there are still some places under construction. Just east of Waveland is Bay St. Louis with a 2 mile bridge that spans the bay. It was around 4 pm when we drove by the bridge and the sun was in the perfect spot for this picture.
We drove around Old Bay St. Louis ( the old new town) until it was a more reasonable time to eat supper and stopped in the Tigers Eye right on the water’s edge. I had a 1/2 pound of steamed Royal Red shrimp that were fabulous with sausage, potatoes, and corn in the mix. The broth had enough spice to taste without having to drink a gallon of water for relief. Jim had a grilled mahi sandwich with fresh-cut fries that were really good as well. He has this wimpy mouth that can’t handle spicy food.
It was in the low 40’s last night, but should get up into the high 60’s or low 70’s today. We will probably just enjoy the scenery and sit in the sun and read today.

You be careful, have fun and eat good food.
