Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
Yup...that was us...headed over to Baton Rogue to the Antique market and to see some of the city. It was Presidents day so we knew a lot of buildings would be closed....no problem...we saw plenty!!
and we met someone pretty famous in this here part of town
Joseph Jilbert...known as the Metal Whisperer
have some fun checking out some of his bigger than life work...made from scrap...seriously...scrap....amazing ! This one below...MY Favoritr!!
Joseph sits in one of his sculptures !!
And that was just DAY 1...I have whole week to go in Louisanna....
back now in New Orleans and getting ready for my class with the amazing Michael DeMeng...
c'mon back now, y'hear!!
Thank you for sharing your trip...NOLA is one of my favorite cities to visit...ENJOY...ENJOY...ENJOY!

Welcome to my home state! Enjoy all there is to see and try to eat a little somethimg!!!! Like that will be hard, try the BBQ shrimp at 'Deannies' amazing, messy, yummy, messy, and wonderful! Pretty much anything you eat will be yummy. Try to check out one of the cemeteries for some beautiful architecture and a bit of history of the area. Hope you have a great class, laissez les bon temps rouler!
