032016 The Passion, New Orleans, LA

One morning I was perusing the local paper (as is my habit when on vacation) and I read about an upcoming event that I found very intriguing.

Louisiana: January, 2019

Settling in for a relatively calm two-week stay in the Crescent City, m’lady and I augmented our usual sights and stops with our first NFL game (Go Saints Go!) and our first trip together outside of the city, when we rented a Jeep and hit the road for Lafayette and environs. All in all it was another spectacular trip to one of the greatest places America has to offer.
