Louisiana!


Day #2 of our road trip...we made to Louisiana today.  We knew we had made it to Louisiana almost instantly!

You know you're in Louisiana when:
  • You start to see drive thru daiquiri joints off the highway
  • You can buy boudin-balls and crackling at the gas stations
  • Teenagers use French slang words.
  • There are nothing but pick-up trucks on the road equipped with atv' s and mounted riffle racks
  • The roads are littered with armadillo road-kill
  • When every radio station is playing zydeco music
  • When fine dining isn't at a restaurant, but at a truck stop
  • When there is customer service with a smile and conversation, but it takes 15 minutes to get a cup of coffee
  • You start to see crosses on the side of the highway
  • There are casinos in all the gas stations
  • Instead of selling watermelon out of the back of trucks, they sell golf shrimp and crayfish.
  • The short-cut is a dusty, gravel road
  • Everyone you drive by gives you a head nod and a hands on the steering wheel finger wave
  • Oh yeah...the internet connections are aweful! It takes at least a half hour to upload photos to your blog!
Plus... you get to see Nana and Uncle Jason!
