After 4 days of Marti Gras Mark's Mom Headed to Thailand
I just spent four days in small towns in Louisiana with Mark's step-father James. We experienced the customs and festivals around Mardi Gras beginning with supper at DI's on the Evangeline Highway near Basille, La. DI's had Cajun music and the people in costume dancing and begging for food and money. For information on DI's and some Cajun music go to http://www.discajunrestaurant.biz/music.htm
We went to the Savoy Music Store for the jam session by people from all over who came with their music instruments. We went to Jennings for the Squeezebox Shootout which is an accordian contest.

In the morning I head to Thailand to spend time with Mark and see how he is doing.
Stay tuned for more information and pictures
