... he's starting to be *****y - he hates hospitals (who the hell doesn't). It looks like he will be in here for a couple more days so they can pump mega doses of antibiotics into him and then hopefully we can hit the road again. Of course, at this rate, we might make it back by Superbowl but I'm not holding my breath. Lessons learned: 1. If you're going to stop and be hospitalized, make sure it's ...

... experimented with peppers and salt from the mines in his area. His son opened the jungle gardens on thier proprty as a drive thru park, bringing over a 800 year old buddah as its center piece. Natural paradise with bird life, alligators and turtles

We were up early this morning so that we could spend a bit more time in New Orleans before heading out. We started out in the French Market along the waterfront, and Gabi got her first taste of bargaining with one of the many vendors. We picked up a few little things as mementos, and walked to Jackson Square. We went to the Presbytere to see the Mardi Gras museum exhibit. It was really ...

... all of them sat way back from the road, and had neatly mowed, very green grass all around them. There were a few pastures with cows, almost no horses, a few sheep and goats. About 7 pm. I finally reached Opelousas, and found a restaurant where I could experience crawfish (crawdads) etouffe; it's stewed small crayfish tails in a thick spicy sauce served over white steamed rice, and it's very rich and very good, slightly spicy hot. The crayfish remind me of baby shrimp ...

Je quitte l'hostel à 8heures et retourne chez Ihop mais pour des pancakes aux bananes cette fois. Je rends la voiture à l'aéroport: Je me suis trompé dans les dates et aurais du la rendre la veille! M'enfin! J'enregistre mes bagages et attends l'avion. Mais une annonce nous prévient du retard dû aux orages du coté de Dallas. Au bureau, on me conseil d'attendre pour aller à Dallas comme pr ...

... T, comme on ne m'avait conseillé. Je choisis celui au fruits de mer: crevettes et ecrevices. JE rentre les manger à l'hostel. C'est une sorte de rizzoto assez relevé presenté comme une saussice. Ensuite, c'est l'heure d'aller chez Randol pour danser. Il y a plus de gens que la derniere fois, les habitués.

Something I would do automatically in Manitoba with someone I knew spoke French. His ...

... things she told me were truly awesome, for instance about when she went to France on an expedition to preserve French Cajun heritage and got invited to the Mayor of Paris's Chateau in the hills for dinner. Also her trip to New Zealand for a family reunion where she met her 6th cousin who was 80, Irish, and died while she was there for the reunion. I could listen to this woman talk for hours. Later in the night we decided to go watch the fireworks over LSU LaFayette (or U-la-la as ...
