We had a great rest day at an old plantation. The main house has been inhabited by nine generations of the same family since 1790. It was an indigo and cotton plantation before the Civil War. Now they support it through several cottages that they rent out. Two of them are the original cook's house and the kitchen. We had a tour of the main house which has a lot of the original furnishings. The trees on the property are gorgeous. I had a room in a the Pond House with Mel and Marilyn. We had a lovely porch and a deck.
Every cottage was unique.
I did not go into St. Francesville but we did go out to dinner. I had crawfish ettoufee which was delicious. A great rest day.

Today we rode 88 miles to Hammond, LA. It was lovely ride through several towns and pretty countryside.
