Thibodeaux and Galliano

Today was a very adventurous day.  We've now driven through almost every neighborhood in New Orleans, and some outside of it.  We were sent on a mission to buy beef jerky from a meat market in Thibodeaux which has been open since the late 19th century. After we successfully acquired the jerky we went over to Mark's family's property in Galliano and I got to see where he had spent his weekends as a kid.  It's a really gorgeous place, which has been pretty much taken over by a huge corporation that collects all of the off-shore oil and stores it for processing.  I'm learning a lot about this city and its culture, it all makes sense after putting it in perspective.

When I woke up I made myself a breakfast burrito!
