Today I visited the Alligator Park with my family. It is opening weekend and the weather was beautiful. There were plenty of big alligators along with albino peacock, baby goats, snakes, raccoons and lots more. We spent about 1 1/2 hours at the park. Check it out at www.alligatorpark.net


It's a great place to take your family.

We were hungry and decided to stop by Almost Home for their lunch buffet.

There is a good assortment of food; one meat, three sides and bread for $9. I considered it pricey for Natchitoches but the food was good. Daughter Katherine ordered the chocolate pie and took one bite but my blackberry cobbler was pretty good except a little sweet for me. I'll begin my diet tomorrow because I enjoyed a very good fried pork chop, yummy!!!


I encourage you to learn about the history of Natchitoches and visit our website at www.natchitoches.net
