Louisiana and New Orleans





Once in Louisiana we entered swamp country. A good 20 mile section of the I-10 west of Baton Rouge is entirely on cement stilts over water through various swamps and lakes. Quite impressive and scenic. There's a good handful more around New Orleans as well. If it isn't the 8th wonder of the world it certainly should be crowned the One wonder of Louisiana. We then did the touristy thing around the French Quarter and friends, if you see a sign for "beignets" then know they are delicious pillow shaped donuts hot out of the deep fryer. Do stop for a few.

Nice shots of empty road. Is that to make us in LoCal feel bad? Show us the real NO, which food and boobs, in no particular order.

Betsy wouldn't let me have the camera in N.O.
