Rain!
Lots and lots of rain, and lots more scheduled.
(By the way, when it rains, the sun still shines above!)
In Louisiana, the sides of the road are lined not only with Mardi Gras beads, but also with frogs.
And here, you can get liquor at the drive-thru: beer, daquiries, whatever you want.
(By contrast, in Seattle you can get coffee at drive-thrus. Wet places with liquids to get you on your way!)
At the boudin festival (boudins are sausages with rice and stuff inside), great music including zydeco.
I also tried fried alligator. Tastes like frog. (Frog tastes like chicken.)
Also, had a chance recently to have a crawfish boil, with some swamp pop, and good company.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
