Geoux Louisiana

We'll another post about Louisiana just has to be written. Too many interesting things here, at least to me. I get joy from the simplest things. Hmmm, is that a sign of a simple mind?

The banner above is from a little town called Golden Meadow WAY down south where the land is disappearing. Fishing Rodeo's here are a big deal!

These small towns take you back to the good ol' days where honesty was just expected and not a joyous suprise. The wooden "box" was just held together with a couple of bolts, to keep the wind out. No Lock!
On my last trip I stopped at a little Satsuma stand (similar to Cementine oranges) and bought a bag. I noticed this sign and just had to capture it. How simple things used to be. The owner, which I chatted with for 30 minutes, was a boat captain for 35 years and "now does oranges". I wonder how many permits he had to have to put this stand on his property? NOT! Oh yea, we are not in California anymore....

This is a grave yard in the same area. Not too much dirt here, so you have to be buried ON TOP of the soil! We have a LOT of Catholics here as you can see.

And my prize winning picture of the day was this wonderful Chicken Car! Looks like the chicken made it through hurricanes Ike and Gustav. Most of this area was under water and without power for quite sometime. Notice the plywood on the windows in the background.

GEAUX LOUISIANA! Remember we are French Cajun down here.
