Fort Walton Beach, Florida to Panama City, Florida - We left our boat at Bay Point Marina in Panama City and off we went by car with Jeannie and Eddie Mahon who picked us up to take us to Natchitoches, Louisiana for a Christmas Festival. We had a great time but the weather did not co-operate, they even had some snow. The kids ran around the streets catching the snowflakes in their mouths. Snow is something we are used to and it did not excite us. We stayed at the home of L. J. and Gay Melder and were treated like royalty. The Melder's live on the main street in a historic home which is close to all the activities of the weekend. We did a lot of eating of southern food, I just love it and was a little disappointed to leave as now I will have to learn how to make crawfish etouffee by far one of my favourite southern dish.
