Happy Bicentennial Louisiana
This is my home state and she is in the midst of celebrating her 200th anniversary. This weekend has plenty of events and I believe the big date is Monday, April 30th.
I have never lived anywhere but the great state of Louisiana. Despite some of our oddities, political foolishness and being the occassional victim of the hurricanes, she ain't all bad!
If you look at the map to the right, above Lake Pontchartrain, I live north of Mandeville and east of Covington. It is a great part of the state, now more than 1 hour to New Orleans and 1 hour and change to Baton Rouge!
