Natchitoches Louisiana

I did want to take a brief moment to mention our stop in Natchitoches Louisiana.

This is a great little town that is just sweet.  Lots of historic stuff to do in and around the area.  We toured one of the plantations now ran by the National Park service.  They filmed a John Wayne movie there!

Also the movie "Man in the Moon" with Reese Witherspoon, was filmed near by.  The area's other theatrical claim to fame involves "Steel Magnolias."


We talked to some very sweet people at the visitor center who gave us directions and more info on other sites.

There is a great Main Street area with a ton of great little shops and restaurants.

Anyway, Natchitoches is a great midway stop between several other larger towns.  Check it out next time you are on the road in Louisiana!
