Where Cats are King

After a full day rolling the World against a good wind and stopping many, many times for conversations we were about to get drenched by a storm when a man invited us to stop and take shelter. The world survived the days deluge under a carport while we were whisked to retrieve the van. Even though the day had the winds in our faces the wonderful people I met all day let me rest, gave Nice(the dog) constant attention. I am so thankful the man was there at that moment. Two minutes later and we would have been soaked.
I still haven't figured how to pronounce where I am, it de Catfish capitol of the world Des Allmends. Hope I didn't butcher the spelling too much. The people here are great.
Today is superbowl Sunday. I am hoping to make my way to a table with a view of the blowout. Maybe I can get some catfish.
Des Allemands y'all.

I hope you enjoyed your walk through DesAllemands! I spotted you at the Wal-Mart in Boutte on Friday afternoon and then walking along highway 90 close to DesAllemands on Saturday! I had no idea what it was all about, but I wish I would have taken the time to find out! I wish you nothing but ease and safe travels through Louisiana and anywhere else the "world" may take you...-Rosa

So crazy the first time I passed you on my way to Laplace and yu were in front of a building construction Site and I thought the world was for a sign for that building, then when I saw yu today I thought , wow that crazy guy stole the sign from that building! Anyways I see your headed to raceland , dont be suprised if you run across lots of stoners there oh and watch your ball cause one may snatch it up as a joke and laugh histerically ! But they shall definately be kind and.hospitable as most us southerners are!
