me my tour guide has now once again let down. This has been before, but now it has been bothering me for the first time. I drove extra in Baton Rouge in the St.Josephs Street corner Street America, as there should be a guide according to an information booth te. When I got there, it became apparent that there is only a residential area without any tourist information stands. So I shouldered my backpack and followed the map of my untrustworthy guide in the direction River Walk. At least the map was wrong, so I found the ric stranded way without further incident. Arriving at the river immediately stung me an old war ship in the eye (before stupid comments are -> not literally). This related to Tues e USS Kidd , welc hes now
completely restored as walked and enjoyed has monument on the shore at anchor. The appurtenance rig is t near the shore and a museum built welc hes more information about the ship and its supply operations. For only $ 8 was both to visit and as the most likely to enter such a ship ever again is extremely low, i read it m ch ir not miss, of course. On the ship you could see almost every room at least half also enter, or pass through. It is well restored, one might almost think it should be next week 
stand out to sea. There was also much left in its pristine state, or only to the extent necessary again made up, that it is not new or even sterile 
l acts. And let's just say: The crew did not live very comfortably. Everything is very narrow, low, and the stairs / ladders are also very steep. If I had served on the ship, my bet would probably lasted only 1-2 weeks, as I would have to be flown at the latest with skull fracture or similar to the hospital. About 300m Next, an old paddle steamer was on a Extrapier. In the hope that it is also a kind of museum I went up to it. It occurred to me before strange that on the pier was a hub with guard house. As I approached, I came out of the guardhouse like a security look forward to what my ID was. When I asked why he wanted to see my ID, I learned that it si nd ch from the boat is a commercial casino te u each of the age of show your card have minimum 35 look. Since I no N penchant for Slot Machines or the like and have even less interest cherish my Travel trunks sse lose, I thanked him for the info and returned to the Museum of the USS Kidd.
where I got myself a map of the city and looked for some S ttractions out how the Old Louisiana State Capitol, the Louisiana State Capitol, the Main Street Market and the Old Governor Mansion, which I also in the order visited.
The Old Louisiana State Capitol is a se hr luxurious Gothic building, which acts almost like a cross between a eurupäischen castle and a church. Everything about this building is decorated, even minor matters such as door hinges. did then I'm on d
en route to Louisiana State Capitol , which was built in 1929 and with its 34 floors to this day the highest te Capitol of the United States. In the 27th stock is a e Aussichtspl attform for tourists, which allows an excellent view over the city. Ironically, at the Capitol is that Huey Long, who has enforced the building, was shot in the year of completion in this very Capitol. Huey Long a very contentious person was. On the one hand, he built roads and bridges and helped needy back on their feet. On the other hand, he made his own laws and did all that was necessary to get what he wanted. As such, it was no wonder that he made enemies and make his life bez selected. The Main Street Market, also I went next, was something entirely different than I had imagined. This was not a kind of farmers market, or sold for a place where cheap batteries, pocket knife and shot-term old army clothes, but sold at the ground floor of a bank building in the various orders lunch, coffee and pastries. Strictly speaking, it was kind of canteen. Since it bere was 15 ° ° Clock and I had eaten its still nothing, I took the opportunity and picked out a few things Asian. In saying that I was the last customer today anyway, I was the polystyrene box to stop filled with delicacies. I wu gestures, three gave more like spring rolls and given the whole even better than the regular price.
Thus fortified, I set out not to miss the Old Governor Mansion. Unfortunately, the house was inhabited, and visit only to be from the street. By the time saved, I could still search for another target and decided for the LSU Rural Life Museum, located just outside the city constitute the basis of arranged into a village of old houses, the lives of ordinary people. When I road, which my Navi did not know, finally got there, stood ic
h in a new metal building, which started in the museum. After few meters you stood in a large hall where which was made to feel ridiculed for lack of ears exhibits something. The Museun lead rte but further Duch a glass door into another, smaller hall which seemed to burst due to very many exhibits almost. Main components of this hall old carriages, which were so close together that they scarcely recognized, where one ended and the next was started. Left and right this hall there were further extensions, which were reminiscent of a little museum, but more like a cluttered roof Bode n had, in which the owner of everything stored, from which he could not be separated. There were, for example. 7 old Singer sewing machines, ship bells, interesting driftwood forms (which, however, had nothing in common with the theme of the museum), model ships which were lack of space, stacked one above the other, old broken toys, F unktionsuntüchtige tools and machines, and more driftwood which is leaning due to lack of space So on others (some restored and interesting) articles was that you could barely see them. After this sobering trip back in time I went to the outdoors. The historic wooden houses in various areas were arranged well that it gave the impression of a real village. The old 'mom and pop shop' and the post office were also very appealing. When I advanced further into the village, the impression to me is an American ' Ameranger Farmhouse Museum' dissipated very quickly. The buildings were simply moved from their original locations, just here off and oh ne more repairs yourself leave. In some there was indeed a sparse arrangement, but even I recognized that the age-matched subjects not to each other and sometimes even less to the buildings. In places, it was certainly differences of 50-100 years. But here it was just the tip of the iceberg. One of the houses I was the woman who cashed the tickets, recommended because of the beautiful garden extra. When I arrived at the somewhat remote house and saw the garden, I had already about 
s laugh. The 'garden' was just one, with an old fence from the rest of the field separated, part of a meadow with Wild flowers as they grew everywhere. But the best was the house itself was not set up properly and was wrong in the landscape. Also, it was not fully assembled, as was apparent on the inner side of the aumaterial of stored B . And the house had been standing around for a while, because in the unfinished outer wall, which lacked the Holzverkle idung, had already dug a large colony of bumblebees their caves in the Lehmfüllung 
and the only action which the employee 
had made n, was a yellow caution tape. other houses looked good though from the outside, but were repaired any more, but rather as storage spaces for 'historical junk' is used. While other buildings have been equipped with furniture, but these were almost all in a sad state. They were 
not historical, but rather simply old abgeriffene and dirty / dusty parts, which had begun in Germany, a new provision in the nearest plant. Most of the buildings were also labeled only inadequate, such as the 'Shootgun House'. Why is it hies so when and why it was built at that time, was never explained. If by chance once more observations were available, they were inteligenterweise written with a white, not weatherproof Stilt on wood. The result, I have noted in the photo on the left. Another highlight of the museum was still the card that you had given me. The scale was not true even begin, many of the buildings were no longer where they were recorded and petty little things like ponds and streams were partially recorded at all. In conclusion I can say that 95% of the potential to offer the museum has been given away. You could make something of it, but that would large time and financial expenses mean. Should Someone in the years to have the opportunity to visit this museum, he or notify me if anything has improved a bit now, or whether it has become just as or even worse.
Well then, see you
