We visited the New Orleans area in 2016. Had lunch at this branch of the well-known oyster restaurant, Acme Oyster House. I used the phone to grab a picture of the neon lights and table in the restaurant. About an hour later, a tornado ran through the same area, causing much damage and some deaths. Makes you think. Image much processed with GIMP. (The Mandeville, Louisiana, location we visited was later closed, but there are still plenty of branches of this restaurant open in the New Orleans area, as of 2022)

In 2016, we had the pleasure of visiting Avery Island, Louisiana, home of the Tabasco sauce factory. Their gift shop has amazing things, and we had to control ourselves and only buy a few items. These "paint cans" contain chocolate infused with the tabasco sauce. The design on the can (diamond with green lettering) is the LOGO of the McIlhenny Co. Image processed with GIMP.

We visited the restaurant in Mandeville, near Fountainbleau State Park. Excellent oysters and crab cakes. An hour later a tornado went through the area. This restaurant is now closed, there are still branches of Acme around, check their website, 2022
