Road Trip, The Conclusion

Our final destination: Louisiana. A state that has been in the news a lot lately, thanks to that oil spill. But we didn’t see oil. Or sugar cane. Or bayous. Or cotton. But we did eat meat pies, gumbo and hush puppies. After all, you have to eat something Cajun if you’re going to drive through Cajun Country.

We also stopped and smelled the roses. Several hundreds of them. At the Gardens of the American Rose Center, the home of the American Rose Association. They were truly beautiful. I took dozens of pictures.

But now we have returned. To Texas. Sigh. Just fifteen or so miles from home, I saw a billboard that stated my feelings very eloquently: Welcome back…to your life… Double sigh.
