I lived there for 42 years and currently can't wait to get back. So you missed the Christmas Festival? You wouldn't have been so bored, the firwework display is the best I have seen. The festival has been going on for about 80 years, and has been held on the first weekend in December since 1927. Called the Festival of Lights and Christmas Festival, it's one of the nation's oldest community-based holiday celebrations. Parades, food and parties, and the fireworks are spectacular. If you get a chance to visit again you should. And try the meat pies. Lasyones Meat Pies are the best. I'm about to order some sent to me here in Fl. Check it out. <BR/>Oh, the story of how Natchitoches and Nacogdoches were founded. Here it is: legend tells of an old Caddo Indian Chief who lived near the Sabine River, the border between Tx & La, that had twin sons. When the sons grew to manhood and were ready to become leaders of their own tribes Chief Caddo sent one brother three days eastward toward the rising sun, the other three days toward the setting sun and after three days they were to begin a settlement. The brothers settled as he told them. The one that went east was named Natchitoches, and the one that went west was named Nacogdoches. What a story. Natchitoches is the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase and Nacogdoches is the oldest settlement in Texas.<BR/>Well take care and hope you visit again soon.<BR/>Don L.
