Vroom! Mural in Lafayette, La., Oct. 2008
In October 2008 I took an amazing trip to Lafayette, Louisiana. I confess to eating my way through the heart of Cajun Country and was pleasantly surprised at all the things to do and see. One of which were the amazingly cool murals in downtown Lafayette.

That’s a part of the country I haven’t been to. I’d love to go and have some real Cajun food (though I’ve learned to make a sort of chicken gumbo). I’m sure my wife would enjoy the food too.
