Day 9 (Baton Rouge): Headed to New Orleans

The morning breakfast is at Louie's, a hole-in-the-wall diner that got 4 stars on Yelp.  The bounty: a seafood omlette with crawfish and shrimp and hashbrowns smothered in cheese.

Then, on our way out of the city, we headed to the shorefront to see the Old Capitol Building.  Thee New York Times 36-hours article made a big deal about it and talked about how the now museum building showcases Governor Huey Long so prominently.  Great place to go.  The Ghosts of the Castle movie is only $3 and excellent.  The entire room is wired with projectors, so the movie surrounds you.

We finished our time in Baton Rouge with a trip to the USS Kidd.  Nice, but not different than the other Navy vessels I've seen.  It was a terrible idea to go when it is so hot out, though.

Off to New Orleans.
