Brendan, a canoe, and the Mississippi River
Brendan Battenfelder's journey from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico.

Thursday, November 22, 2001 - Life is Amazing

Well all I'm doing great.

I don't have much time so I will keep this short. I was in Natchez on Monday and I am now in St Francisville LA. I met some wonderful people in Natchez and they connected me wonderful people in St. Francisville, so I did not spend Thanksgiving on a sand bar (Thanks Melissa and Keith).

 I am spending the night with the Dupree family and I will be off to Baton Rouge tomorrow. I will fill you all in on more detail when I get four hours in front of a computer. But for now I am alive happy and I have been warned that the alligators come out of the swamps and into the river during low water. Well the water is low!

Well Happy thanksgiving weekend to all and I will write again when I find a free library (Natchez wanted 20 cents a min.- NOPE!). 

Oh and I will be at Penn State for Graduation to drink my head off at the 
Skeller.
