BARATARIA PRESERVEI have found a sanctuary within my cement jungle! Mind you, I have found others but this one is a mere 5 miles from my house! A friend of mine told me about it and I instantly fell in love with this place!
The 'trails' right behind the visitor center are like one long deck. They are raised above the ground (smart idea due to the 'flooding' issue around here!).
After a long day of studying for my upcoming tests, we went out for a walk. It was great. Brought the girls' bike so she could peddle around for a bit.
Believe it, or not, she got soooo excited over the (several) snakes and lizards we found on our outing. She thought the snakes were "so cute"! She is starting to be a chip off the ol' block. Her love for nature and the outdoors does my heart good.
OH, I so feel at home in this place!
