Oct 30, 2013 413km/5,676km Monroe LA – Winnsboro - Natchez MS – St. Francisville – Baton Rouge LA


Changed our trip to go a little more South than originally planned. I came up with that idea to visit a certain plantation: the one where they filmed the 1985 mini TV series ‘North and South’ with Patrick Swayze (it was called “Fackeln im Sturm” in Germany), a really great series. So we went to St. Francisville MS to visit Greenwood Plantation (www.greenwoodplantation.com). What a sight and what a story around that property! But I have to be honest, I was mostly thinking of ‘North and South’.

More driving past very well-maintained front lawns until we stopped at another Walmart for the night. But not before Rolf had his long anticipated Shrimp Po-Boy (a bun with fried shrimps, lettuce and mayo), a special of this area.
