Lake Charles, Louisiana- First Impressions
Preparing for our trip to Louisiana was much easier than preparing for our trips overseas. I know that anything I forget I can easily pick up with our rental car at the local Walmart. What I did not prepare for, however, was the culture shock. This helicopter flew missions in Vietnam. Now it is part of a Veteran's Memorial in Lake Charles I have visited Louisiana before- but it's been 15 years. It was the first airplane trip I took without my parents, and it was a swimming trip. I spent most of my time with fellow Californians, and was charmed by the sweet waitresses that called us "Honey" and "Sugar". We spent most of our time in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, both bigger cities, and had a wonderful time. Other than that, I haven't spent much time in the South. WWII tank... Landon was both excited, and scared that it was going to run over him That being said, I feel the same out-of-place feeling I feel in other countries here in my own...
