Random Line of the Night: "Wanna guess which bank has my vault in a cock?"

I'm sure that Louisiana has fascinating culture, but today has been mostly spent either travelling through the very green landscapes with the tall trees, or flailing because the company I get our hotels through managed to charge my card twice between the time it took to check in and attempt to get food.
And thus I am overdrawn.

Ergo, neat stuff hopefully later.

Anyone know any good local places to eat at around here?

... if you were a bit more north, I'd help you out there. But, I can recommend foods you should try if you want some culture. Gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffe... Mmm.

My sister recommends Blue Coyote, that has the best Mexican food in Louisiana. Also, stop by the mall if you have the chance.

If you head back up north by I-49, feel free to swing by Alexandria. And I can help you out with more fun stuff!

Also, for haunted plantations (since that's a huge thing in Louisiana), here's what I found about those in the Lafayette area:

From here (http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/louisiana/louisiana-plantationst).
On the road west from New Orleans toward Lafayette you can find more Southern Louisiana plantation homes like the amazing Madewood Plantation built in 1846, with gorgeous rooms filled with antiques. It operates as a bed and breakfast, so you can spend the night in Southern luxury and enjoy a mint julep on the veranda.

Another one of the amazing Southern Louisiana plantations is the Chretien Point Plantation, 15 minutes north of Lafayette. Also operating as a bed and breakfast there are many antiques decorating the rooms and original painting on the walls of its first inhabitants. It was built in 1831 and today operates as a bed and breakfast on 20 secluded acres.

There are several other plantation homes that dot the countryside in this great state. Feel free to explore and take advantage of the plantation home tours on your next Louisiana vacation.

As you can tell, there's even more in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Anyway, enjoy your stay, even if it's humid as sin here.

DUDE YOU ARE AN HOUR AWAY FROM ME. *flail* And you missed all the good food, it's over here in LC.

I've heard good things about The Blue Dog Cafe (http://www.bluedogcafe.com/). It's probably expensive as sin, tho. Novelty place and all that. And Prejean's (http://www.prejeans.com/default.asp) is supposed to be good too. I found you a dining guide to Lafayette (http://lafayette.diningguide.com/) so have at it. Just remember: Don't ask too many questions about what you're eating, and just because the restaurant isn't the cleanest place in the world doesn't mean that the food won't be fabulous.

When you head back west (if you're flying back out of Houston), stop at Steamboat Bill's on I-10 in Lake Charles if you're hungry. Some of the best seafood ever (if you're not burned out on seafood, that is)!

... WHY HAVE WE NEVER MET?

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW.

I think because of hurrications/RL/et cetera.

And we're leaving early in the morning for Baton Rouge. *flails*

Actually passed by Blue Dog on the way in, and the hotel desk recommended Prejeans. Hmmm.... am sensing a conspiracy. ^__^ OF GOOD FOOD!

Don't think I'll get tired of seafood, it's a rarity for me to eat, being in the desert. Will keep that in mind! Thank you!
