My Louisiana Adventure - Day 3 | Part 2



Later on that day, we decided to take a trip to St. Bernard Parish, LA. We took the ferry from Belle Chasse, and crossed the Mississippi River. Within ten minutes we saw homes and apartment buildings that looked like they were hit by the hurricane the day before.
We found a newspaper inside one apartment, lying on a table. It was dated August 27, 2005 - one day before Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The storm had already plowed through Florida and killed six people.
