Mississippi River Boat

I grew up as a lover of reading books. I especially loved books that combined adventure and humor. One of my favorites was Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". As an East Coast girl who had never seen the Mississippi, I romanticized the river and Huck and Jim's journey down it.
Whenever I see the Julia Belle Swain, I can't help but be transported to those adventures that I read as a child. I also love to ride on the Julie Belle. It's a slow ride, and that peaceful and plodding pace allows me to really see the beauty of the river and the wildlife that live on it. If you have not yet taken a cruise on the Julia Belle, I would highly recommend it.
