Day #3: Out of Texas and in to Louisiana

Weather is turning to crap as we get closer and closer to Tropical Storm Lee. We still tried to hit the beach at some lake outside of Livingston but we decided to save the $20 entry fee since it was windy and kinda rainy.

We hit up El Taquito for lunch and had great mexican food. Seb found a vending mmachine with some grills for $0.50 so we all got some. The results are NOT pretty. Susie looks like she has 3 miles of gums, Seb looks like a bulldog, dLo's grill was so low it looked like it was on his bottom teeth, I looked like some pasty white vamp and, not surprisingly Jeb was the only one that looked half decent with them on.







We hit the road heading southeast towards the coast. We passed a lovely beauty salon and a half decomposed dog carcass.



We crossed into Louisiana and drove along the coast for a while. The damage from the hurricane was still visible. Gross amounts of garbage lined the deserted beaches and empty concrete pads dotted the streets where houses sat before they got washed away.

After crossing the only FREE ferry in the US we stopped in a town called Cameron, found a stray dog that peed when petted so we fed it some peanuts.


We finally got to Lafayette and headed straight to Prejean's for some cajun food. With a 18 foot 800 lbs aligator in the entrance and live cajun music it was everything you'd expect from a traditional cajun restaurant. The food was amazing!!! We had 3 different kinds of gumbo, crawfish, shrimp, catfish and a white chocolate bread pudding that made me cry.


Stuffed out of our minds we checked into a Motel 6, watch The Bourne Supremacy, killed a cockroach and passed out.
