March 16: Rest Day in St Francisville, Louisiana

We took a rest day in St Francisville today. The timing was excellent as two people had chest colds and at least two of us had stomach flu or a less awful but still uncomfortable digestive variation on that theme. Our theory is that we’re not used to the strong spices and deep-fried everything, but it may be that we’re just adjusting to new gut flora of the southeast or passing around a little bug. Whatever the cause, the rest day was well timed.

Many of the rest of us toured a historical plantation near town. I can’t tell you anything about the tour because I was one of the stomach flu victims, but I’ll include some beautiful photos taken by Andy Anderson below.
