Cajun Encounters

While in Louisiana we decided to go on a swamp tour. While waiting I watched the kitties.





We went on the tour hoping to see some gators, by our boat. All we ended up seeing was trees, water, remnants of places Katrina wiped out and a Cajun Hottub.



When we got back to shore our tour guide took us to hold a baby gator.





Me holding the little one. The point and shot didn't like the low light, but we didn't take the more expensive cameras on the boat, so this was all we could do.

NOLA Treasures

Just a few irresistible items we found while wandering around the french quarter.



Some yummy chocolate alligators!





I always try to get a Christmas decoration from places we go and I thought Mardi Gras beads and Voo Doo dolls would be a good fit. :0)



It even comes with instructions.

One big happy family

I think they look kinda fake, but they are 100% real.  I could see their eyes move, but that was about it.  At least one of them kept an eye on me the whole time.
