We arrived in Florida today and are visiting with David, who drove down to us from Mobile, AL. It was a beautiful drive from Louisiana, across Mississippi, Alabama and into Florida. In the Atchafalaya area, we saw an authentic bayou that went on for many miles with trees growing right in the water in small groups. Amazing. We saw signs for restaurants serving Boudin (regional sausages) and cracklin (rendered pork fat and meat). I remember eating cracklin as a child. Delicious. At one place on I-10 the traffic was backed up at least 5 miles behind 10 Mardi Gras floats which were being escorted to their parade by police cars. Tomorrow, on to visit with the Leithners.
