Things I have learned in Louisiana so far: 1) The name Declan is unheard of and causes great confusion to the Pelican State. 2) Not everyone - in fact no one so far - has that down in the bayou, dripping with moss, jazz, and crawdads, famous for beads, fruity rum drinks, Ashley Judds prison escape movie, blackened everything, creole accent. Every vampire movie lied - so far everyone I have encountered has the same accent as I do. I think Declan (also known as Oh, well, what a cute a baby after I tell the person his name)and I need to rent a swamp boat and travel a little further into voodoo territory. 3) Vegetarians must not fare well down here as my new decision to return to the world of veggies and tofu is being met with Louisiana hospitality - in other words - veggies arent really available unless they are stuffed in a sausage. 4) Oh, well, what a cute baby and I are going on an adventure into a wooded area that has several Civil War relics on and off the trails. I was warned that I needed to wear shoes into the woods because the bugs might bite my feet. So, I am surmising that there are people that roam through the tree-filled, muddy, swamp infested areas of this state barefoot. Interesting. More to come - this is definitely an educational trip. In the words of Dr. Steve Brule: Check It Out.
