OMG. I totally feel it. After 4 gumbos, a shrimp etouffee, a crawfish etouffee, two trips to Cafe Du Monde beignets, two Po’Boy sandwiches, one alligator cheesecake and one muffletta, I feel the weight right on my tummy. And for once, I don’t regret it.
So here they are. Photos from Baton Rouge / New Orleans.
First up, the state capitol.
When we were at the top of the capitol building, we saw another building that looked like a castle. Of course, we had to go check it out. (It was the OLD State Capitol)
On our way to New Orleans, we stopped at the Laura Plantation. If you ever get a chance to go to the South, I definitely recommend visiting to one of the many plantations. Jimmy and I visit two very different ones, and were totally satisfied. We saw slave homes, sugar plantations, bedrooms over a hundred years old, and gorgeous dining rooms.
New Oleans! I was SO FREAKING excited to be there! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the food, the colors, and the sound of the city!
Jimmy and I each had our “thing”. Jimmy : Abita beers. Me: potato chips!
We saw a ton of street performers, but these guys were my favorite. BY FAR!
Bourbon Street at night
I’m already planning my trip back. 2012? Sounds good to me!
