Made it as far as the new Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis MS. Beautiful, huge rv park. We haven't been to the casino yet. The major restaurant hasn't opened yet so it must be really new. We took a road around on the south side of the Mississippi from New Orleans to go to a museum for the people who settled here from the Canary Islands. I read about them in a great book on New Orleans. However, the place looked empty and deserted. There was construction of new buildings behind it so maybe they are renovating after Katrina or something. Took a lot of time to get there so too bad. Anyway, ended up taking a ferry across the Mississippi. The school bus crosses by ferry every day. We had to wait for the coal barge to pass before we could cross.
