Day 39 Rest Day




Finally a rest day. Fred, Mica, Hillary, and Jason headed back to New Orleans so Sylvia and I decided to take relaxing sightseeing ride around the countryside--there's not much to report. We stopped for lunch at Rockey's in Eunice and shared a light lunch of Shrimp, Alligator, Catfish, and Oysters...all fried. I don't know where to check-in first; the Alcohol Rehab Clinic or the Cardiac Center. After lunch we drove through the towns of Opelousas and Crowley, which is the "Rice Capitol of America" (only America?). Tomorrow we're leaving for Hot Springs, Arkansas, a drive of about 400 miles. I'm really not sure why.

More pictures from yesterday
Top - Cracklin's, Pork Rinds, Fried Sweet Potato Chips

Right - Three generations of Mardi Gras revelers. The outfit, including the pants, on the girl holding the baby is made entirely out of Crown Royal bags.

I guess Sylvia & Mica didn't earn their beads until after this picture.
