Bayou La Batre, still maintained the original
appearance, simple nature. Every morning when the fishermen will return to the
sea, with a night of seafood caught. Very quiet fishing village of seawater, a
distance at sea moored boat，look
like is a toy. Bayou La Batre has a very beautiful sunset, evening is a good
choice to come here. In the evening, the fishermen who are off work, only
the salty smell of the air, and the garbage tell me of the sea that they have
been.
