From Hurricane only foundation and steps left

Took a drive today along Highway 90 along the shore from Gulfport to Biloxi.   Beautiful drive and the beach is beautiful.   I can see where  BP cleaned up the shoreline from the oil spill.  If you didn't know it had happened, you would not believe the difference.    The beautiful old homes along the highway are beautiful but the devastation from Hurricane Katrina can still be seen.   I was talking to one of our neighbors and they have seen a big improvement since the hurricane.   There are so many empty spaces where the old homes and restaurants stood is hard to believe.   I put a picture of the lot with the foundation and steps that are left standing.    You read about it and see pictures but to see first hand is very mind boggling.   We stopped  at Thomas Jefferson "Beauvoir" Mansion where his Presidential Library is...I have never been to Presidential Library before....First for us.....He did his memoirs from the small library......Love history so today was very interesting!!!
