Lookin' good pickup truck. |
No sooner had we entered the state of Louisiana than I was lining up at a gas station mini mart to buy a Saints bumper sticker. Peter insisted: NO bumper stickers on the side of the van. I pleaded...
"but the side of the van is for the regional bumper stickers." He wasn't having it....and thus I was defeated in one of many arguments about decorations for the mini-van. I realized quickly, however, that I had purchased the wrong sticker. Locals seem to prefer the simple
fleur de lis, with no sort of other football insignia. Sort of like the big giant C that we see on cars, vans, shirts, and whatnot around here.

Hello Kitty Car! |
And as for car adornment, I can say that this ever so brief and limited view of the South did not disappoint. Yes, right there in Plaquemine, I saw a young woman driving a Hello Kitty car. I was simply delighted. Bad light for mediocre photo, but I can't help but exclaim that I LOVE this car.
It's a sunny day, we're at the end of the country, at the end of the river, at the end of the world, in a little town that time forgot, and we're not going down without a little bling. Yes!
So on a trip that began with us being not a little nervous about our own bumper stickers, I had more fun looking at everybody else's flavor.
can i get a kitty car for christmas? okay that's not how you spell it but come on i want one!
