    I've done all five of those in the States!!!! New Orleans... well.... ahem.... I have loads of beads and I am not going to go into how I earned them.

    I just found out that Pe-Te's, the best zydaco and crawdads in Texas, has closed! I will substitute a drive from Houston to Austin on Hwy 290 in April/May when the bluebonnets are in bloom. Take your camera and your best girl.
