Bay St Louis is a small coastal town between New Orleans,
Louisiana and Biloxi, Mississippi. My first visit was just a stop over on a road
trip to Florida. I have since been back two times.
I love to walk along the
coast and down the streets lined with colorful beach houses. It is so peaceful
and relaxing.
We seem to always have bad luck with the weather during our
stays, but it never fails to be clear the morning we are leaving. Lol I took photos of some of our favorite spots on
our last visit. Most were taken in the rain….
Hope you enjoy them anyway.
