Day Eleven of the Move

I just traveled from Mississippi into Louisiana this afternoon. I traveled to some cool historic landmarks and found some cool facts. Such as that the DELTA QUEEN, the cool sternwheel steam boat that was used for cruising the major rivers like the Mississippi river. It now is docked in Tennessee as a hotel. Another cool national landmark is Jackson square which is historic park in the French quarter of New Orleans. The book I got from the gas station has a lot of cool facts about Louisiana, like Louisiana was purchased for about $15 million and the Louisiana treaty was ratified on October 20, 1803. So in my reference book the Grapes of Wrath I can connect it to the people that were affected by the two hurricanes in Louisiana and the people in the Grapes of Wrath. Both the people were devastated that they had to leave there homes behind and move away. The only difference is that in the Grapes of Wrath is that the government took their land and the people in Louisiana had their land destroyed by both the hurricane Katrina and Rita.
