A Postcard From…Louisiana: What Makes This State Unique!

May 26, 2017 by Crystal McClean

 I’d like to welcome Jennifer as a contributor to my series, A Postcard From…Awesome Places Around The World! This year is going to be all about one of my favourite things – travel! If you’d like to share your area of the world, please contact me. Today’s postcard is from Jennifer in…Louisiana!  And if you’d like to be the Belle of the Ball, check out her hair accessory shop, Lilla Rose (I’m in love with these products and own several myself).

Thank you, Crystal, for this opportunity to share about my home state of Louisiana. I’ve lived here in Louisiana most of my life and love so many of the things that make it unique. I blog at A Glimpse of Our Life, and that often includes glimpses of our state.

If you visit Louisiana, you might see an alligator, especially if you go on a swamp tour, but that’s only one of the things that people ask about. Louisiana is a rich diverse blend of cultures with strong French, Spanish, and Native American roots. Even our food is unique. Muffulettas, pralines, beignets, and King cake are just a few of our state’s high-fat delicacies.

Rosedown Plantation

If you have the chance to tour one of our Antebellum homes or plantations, it’s like a step back in time. Magnolia Mound Plantation is one that we enjoyed touring with friends. The WWII Museum and the Tabasco factory at Avery Island are also both educational and unique places to tour.

Louisiana Crawfish

From crawfish and jazz music in South Louisiana to cotton fields covering the fields on both sides of the road as you drive north, the things that make us memorable are enjoyed around the world.

If you heard of the catastrophic flooding in south Louisiana last year, you may have also heard of our Cajun Navy.

Louisiana is also known as Sportsman’s Paradise. Hunting and fishing are popular throughout our state. Farming has changed a lot through the years, but there are still many farms in our state.

      Me, neither. I don’t think they’re so common in Canada.

    We’re going to New Orleans next weekend, but I have no plans to eat crawdads. LOL Very excited about the trip though!

      Oooh! I had a friend who visited New Orleans and loved it. I don’t think I’d try crawfish either; though I’d use my shellfish allergy 😉
      Have an amazing trip!!

      It’s been my pleasure! If we make it over your way, the kids will certainly try crawfish!
      Have a wonderful summer!
