We has planned on driving to Biloxi, MS today. However, it seems that almost everything is closed from Hurricane Katrina. However, Biloxi got the worst of Hurricane Rita, New Orleans took the brunt of Katrina, but Biloxi also got some of the storm. Only a few days after Katrina hit the coats, Rita came and desolated Biloxi. Although New Orleans is far from a normal way of life, Biloxi may never fully recuperate.

So we opted for a day at the campground. We swam for several hours, and then we went out to eat. It was our last night in Louisiana, and Mom and I wanted to try both crawfish and seafood gumbo. The restaurant that we had originally chosen was closed on Sunday so after asking the locals, we ended at a little packed-out place called Harbor Seafood. We actually got the last table!

Mom and I shared the Boiled Special. It comes with 2 ears of corn, 6 crabs, new potatoes (which are fabulous when sprinkled with hot sauce!), shrimp, and 3 pounds of crawfish! Everything was boiled in a Cajun seasoning, and we cleaned up the whole thing… even the crawfish.
