Amtrak’s famous, ‘City Of New Orleans’ (10/2017)
Le Fleur's Bluff State Park nature trail along the Pearl River. Walk slow, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy the view!
Not the most spectacular photo but a very spectacular building and story. 
This 150-year-old house was never completed. The exterior incredibly magnificent but step inside and the top four floors… Or still in the same condition as when the craftsman left in 1865. Well worth the stop!
