Thursday March 17th we traveled to Shreveport.  Not a bad drive only 72 miles from Natchitoches.   We again boarded a motor coach to travel the city in.  We went to an animal farm which features Alligators.  For me it was not that exciting due to alligators are so plentiful in Florida but, the rest of the animals were pretty cool.  We then toured Mardi Gras Museum, old theater and of course an mall.
