Last day in Biloxi

Last day in Biloxi

Our next four days were spent financing our trip. We both headed off to work. Jamie to Tel Aviv and me to Mumbai. We got back and had one more day to explore Biloxi so we started out at the George Ohr art museum. George Ohr was nicknamed the mad potter of Biloxi. He was a ceramic artist that was born in the 1857 and spent his life creating unique pottery. When he died in 1918 he told his kids that he didn’t want what remained of his art to go public for 50 years. When it was brought out the art community fell in love with it and is now considered collector’s items.

After the museum we went to lunch at another beach front bar then drove to a little beach town called Bay St. Louis. We thought it was gonna be a very cute, quaint town but it wasn’t anything special. Had a beer at a place called the Blind Tiger, named after late night, illegal bars that operated during the prohibition.

From there we went to the Margaritaville hotel which we thought was a casino but turned out to be just a hotel. Had a beer watching another beautiful sunset then headed home to get ready to leave the next day.
