Biloxi

This post will take care of the pictures I took Sunday in Gulfport and the few that were taken in Biloxi. I had gone to visit my daughter, Peggy. She was the driver and I was the passenger trying to take pictures from her moving car. I remember saying, "Slow down Peggy!" I had leaned slightly out the window with my hand held digital camera and the wind created by her speed almost cost me the camera. That made for a good laugh. We were headed toward Biloxi and in the first picture you can't help but see the emptiness. I found something to appreciate about the cleanliness of the landscape. We had lived with so much debris that I felt this was a milestone.

Biloxi's skyline looks impressive with all the condos that are under construction, some nearly complete. I didn't take shots of anything that I felt could be described in words alone. The Beau Rivage is a massive casino that is very beautiful. The Grand casino is nice although my shots may not depict it. Treasure Bay's temporary casino shocked me after having fallen in love with the huge pirate ship they once had. We drove to where we had to turn back because of bridge not functional.

Headed to Interstate Exit

How About That Guitar?

We took the interstate exit and were on our way to my home in Pascagoula. My daughter arrived home safely too. Was a great weekend and I am glad I finally got to see this part of the coast that means a lot to me.
