We had a fabulous week in Louisiana, but I think Terry and I were both ready to head home. We stopped at Calandro's Market to stock up on Community Coffee, more Abita beer, and Steen's Cane Vinegar—all of which can be difficult if not impossible to get in Austin. On our way out of town, we joined Big T, Kelly, Beth, and Boyd at the Pastime Restaurant and Lounge for Bloody Mary's, assorted cocktails, and some really good pizza! (I recommend The Big Ragout if you find yourself there.) The place is filled with LSU memorabilia and Boyd showed us his football team photo from his days playing for the Tigers. After making our way through Houston (yuck), we stopped in Cypress overnight to visit with dad and Elizabeth and get our dog fix until we could see The Fur the next day. I think we bored them to tears with all the pictures from the trip, but we also played a couple rounds of Mexican Train before crashing out.
