fall 2002

It's off to Baton Rouge for Daniel & Sara's big Louuuseeana wedding. Headed out on Friday morning with Tami in her Yellow Bug, stopped in Houma for a huge cajun lunch, and made it just in time for the dedication of a new folk art pilgrimage site on da bayou. In the late afternoon twilight along the Mississippi River, passing swamps n spanish moss n toxic waste n plantations. Some touring on Saturday morning with the gang in the rain. An old capitol, a new church, mud painting, and hothouse flowers. Saturday evening it's time for tuxes, a bride & groom, and helping to hold the houpah. After a foodfest reception we all went for a boozefest reunion, with Mary leading us on a halfway-to-New Orleans goose chase.
