Though the drive to New Orleans was a bit frustrating in a few places (mainly Texas), the majority of the drive in Louisiana was nice. It was an overcast day- not in the usual grey sky, rain clouds kind of way. There was a thin film of clouds that covered the entire sky. The scenery changed from flat roads and pine trees to low bridges over swamps filled with cypress trees. Driving over the miles and miles of bridges that ran through the swamp, the theme song from True Blood played in my head. I imagined myself in a small row boat, floating above the pitch black water, stealing my way through the fog and spanish moss that droops from the otherwise barren cypress tree branches, with nothing but a dim lantern to light my way. I imagine docking my boat at a small shack on the waters edge, that is decorated with alligator sculls, small animal bones, and other talismans. I love the feel of Louisiana- it's timeless in a way, from the creaky old buildings in the city, to the eery foggy swamp. It's a place riddled with history and mystery.

I can't believe I didn't use the restroom the whole time I was at Neutral Grounds. David did, though, and he took this pic of the hallway leading to the restrooms. |
