in no particular order im sharing our little adventure in pieces, starting in the big easy. i loved taking pat to new orleans because its one of my favorite childhood memories, the food, the people, the gulf in general. although it looks a little different since katrina it still felt the same, warm and fun.
on the way to new orleans theres a little town called grosse tete (seriously) and there is a caged tiger in their gas station, yes a gas station.
aside from the gumbo, this place has the best beignets in the world.
