We are in Lafayette LA, having departed from Memphis yesterday. On the way out of town, we passed a sign for Graceland, so the Boss insisted we check it out. From the street, only 2 airplanes were visible. Sorry, but I refused to pay $10 to park and $31 apiece to view the "mansion".

Today we had lunch at Don's in Hammond LA. A dozen oysters on the half shell + crawfish bisque for me, and 12 grilled oysters + crab au gratin + a bloody Mary for J. She liked the drink so well, she asked about one to go. No problem, so long as she doesn't put the straw in it until she leaves the building. Is this a great state or what!!

A sign at a gas station in town: Beer. Because it's still election season.

Sampled some boudin balls and cracklins here in Lafayette. Terrific!
