Long time, no posts. I've been enjoying some downtime in NJ, catching up with friends and family. It's been good, but cold!
I left New Orleans last week, just before Mardi Gras (been there, done that). On the way north, on recommendation of this guy I met in New Orleans, I stopped at
Myrtles Plantation, which is supposed to be haunted by a murdered slave and the two children she supposedly inadvertently killed. My pictures don't show any traces of ghosts, which the staff said may occur, but the house did have some cool door knobs made of glass and filled with liquid mercury.
After, I stopped at
Emerald Mound in Natchez, MS, site of the second largest Indian mound in the country (after
Cahokia, in Illinois, which I saw some years ago). The mounds seem like any other grass covered hills, until you look a little closer and see the more formalized shapes and sharper angles of the hills.
