We spent our final day in Louisiana in a scorching hot, very
humid swamp. Sounds awful, and we have to admit, we were exhausted after more
than 2 hours, but the nature and wildlife were worth it. Some 30 minutes from
downtown New Orleans, you can hike (or kayak – but we wisely decided against
that) in the Barataria Preserve. We encountered hundreds of dragonflies,
grasshoppers, gecko’s, some snakes and had a very close encounter with two
alligators. One of these was sitting on the path which we needed to cross… with
some hesitation, we did make it through but we got a very nasty look from the gator!
