Steve and I love Louisiana -- the food, the people, the Zydeco music, the culture, and the natural environment. We wanted to take a short trip "just because we could" when he finally worked his last day as a veterinarian, so we chose to explore some places in Louisiana that were new to us. Follow along in these blog posts for places we enjoyed and can recommend to you. I'll begin with a shameless plug. My newest book -- Take the Drive on I-65 -- Where Every Exit Tells a Story

Highly enjoyable attraction in Monroe, Louisiana.

World-class gardens in North Georgia.
