We are staying at a campground directly across from the Gulf of Mexico. We can only wonder what this area was like before Katrina. I say that because there is so much open land along the beach as well as across the street. Plenty of property for sale but no takers. Insurance is high and it seems that no one wants to make the investment or should I say gamble. Andrea and I (and of course Angel) have taken long walks along the beach and what really strikes us is that there is just no one out enjoying the beach and water view. The area has no life to it. Guess we are so used to seeing so much activity by the beaches in Ft. Lauderdale where there is always activity between walkers, runners, bikers, and roller bladders.
We have been trying to help the local economy over at the Beau Ravage Casino by contributing our fare share into the slots. We gave the Hard Rock Casino a chance as well and as expected the results were no different.
Tonight we will give the casino's one last chance before we move onto New Orleans tomorrow.
We wish all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
Until next time, miles of smiles.
Charlie, Andrea, and Angel
