Cajun Roadkill
Pooh Yie! I been to Holly Beach!
Last week, I went to Louisiana to get as much video as possible of Cajun traditions and of my grandma and great aunt (taunt) telling stories. I came back with about 6 hours of video but I still have to encode it. Still, I wanted to share something with y’all that I took with my little digital camera.
I got to Louisiana on Friday and left Saturday morning early to go crabbing near Holly Beach. On the way, I saw what I like to call "Cajun Roadkill". Click on the picture below to see:
If you can’t make it out, it was an alligator. And I’da took it home to put in a sauce piquante if I would have been in a truck!
This week I’ll be encoding video of crabbing, a crawfish boil, riding around in Holly Beach and some old Cajuns talking. I even got my great aunt on film telling me how she makes preserves. I’ll be posting it all here as soon as I find the time to encode and edit.

Ha! I clipped one of those on Hwy 10, right inside of N.O. as it fell off the back of a pick up truck. Hit it with all four tires! You should have seen the looks of disbelief we got from the mechanic when we got back to Charlotte and had to have the SUV re-aligned. They didnt believe us when we told them how it got all out of whack.
Beautiful picture,, last trip to holly beach weekend of Sept. 17-18, the beach is full of debris from Katrina. Plenty of wood, decking, appliances all floating ashore. Not a pretty sight. Even a bottom side of life capsule from offshore rig. I have pics but no way to put online. Very depressing. Katrina has affected all of us in so many ways. Keep us the good work and god bless everyone ….
