Tyese recommended a quick stop in Pensacola Fl...never swam in the gulf of mexico before. I was city logged and needed some outside time. I guess Montgomery and Rosa Parks will have to
wait till the next time I am in Alabama....
After swimming in the ocean in April, falling asleep on the beach (always a good idea when your body hasn't seen the sun in at least 6 months), and slacklining we are off...again..for New Orleans.
It was strange to travel through so many states in one day, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and finally Lousiana.
Louisiana night 1: Bourbon street for 20 minutes. Making a new friend Tameka (via a friend of a friend of a friend) and staying in her mansion. After an oatmeal breakfast we were directed to the French quarter where we could get real "New Orlean's" food. Both agreed contrary to the pictures below: New Oreleans food isn't within our taste pallet.
A FRANTIC drive to our 12 o'clock swamp tour...thankfully no tickets and little rain....
Time to leave New Orleans and drive to Lafayette for the next adventure - The International Festival. On the way we opened another surprise from Mary......another amazingly exciting fun toy..... markers...to draw on the windows!
Going to the food festival was like going home for me....tons of girls in flowy skirts, unusual music, unusual smells, practical shoes, hippy earthy arts and crafts....It was a knockoff of Vermont (please excuse the bias)....
Next stop: Austin, Texas ... more on that soon

Cats are like chips. . .
. . .crunchy and delicious when deep-fried.
gahhh!!! do you know I am looking at these pics from my WINDOWLESS CUBE RIGHT NOW?!!?! :( :(
I am quitting my job in the next 10 minutes, buying a ticket to Austin and FINDING YOU!! hahah hmmm...
Ok no, for real though, AWESOME PICTURES and looks like a ridiculous time!!! :) !!
Is that authentic gumbo? ha ha. Wow these posts are coming faster than I can comment. I can't believe how many unbelievable activities you guys have planned. You had everything planned out very well. Glad you weren't late for the swamp tour- it looked like the gators were happy to see you!
hey it's carissa. i still can't believe you guys went zorbing w/out me. get to oregon as fast as you can! no one likes those flat states. only pancakes should be flat.
you should listen to Carrisa she's super smart..... actually I think she might be the smartest person I know.
Don't listen to ryan. Take your time. The longer you guys take tho the bigger the hugs you're gonna get and if you're anything like me you would have been there a week ago (I hate hugs). Those gaters be small. Not nearly as threatening as a brigader. (Military term 'Brigadier' rank just below that of a General) You of course won't appreciate that but some guy out there will be like that was pretty clever, cause it was. Yes, cats are like chips...crunchy, salty, and best served with burgers. I thought you were down south not in China. Ha ha they eat cats.
