(The Former) Bay St Louis

Last weekend we took a trip to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, which is still struggling to regain its footing after Hurricane Katrina. We were lucky enough to go on a driving tour with Hancock County historian Charles Grey and he gave us a running narrative that sounded a bit like this as we drove along the beachfront: "This slab used to be..." and "This set of steps used to be..." It was sad, but there are plenty of people living there in FEMA trailers and making the best of it. Todd took this great photo out the window of the mini bus of a lonely live oak.
