I don’t know why but one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about the Mississippi River are steamboats. Surprisingly there is only one steamboat left on the Mississippi, The Nanchez.

I never really considered how much business is happening on the Mississippi River.  There are tons of boats bringing imports from other counties and sending exports from our country.  Not really sure how to describe it but it was nice to see so many hard working men and woman up and down the river. 

That beautiful skyline is New Orleans….pretty cool
