Louisiana: A Fun Place to Be

By Joe

  

We are having a great time here in Louisiana.  We spent two nights in New Orleans, and now we are spending two nights in Cajun country.  Tomorrow morning (the pic above is obviously not of a swamp tour, but isn’t he cute?), we are going on a swamp tour and possibly to see a plantation tomorrow afternoon.

  
There isn’t a lot to say in this post, but here are two suggestions for when you go to New Orleans: eat at the Court of Two Sisters (entrance on Royal or Bourbon) for their fabulous jazz brunch and visit the five Louisiana State Museums.  Also, I highly suggest that you head down Bourbon past St Ann, where Oz and Bourbon Pub is and venture just over a block to a small store called Bourbon Pride.  Josh Duffy owns it and I’m a big fan of his music. Bourbon Prode has all the things a gay boy needs, and the staff was super nice and very helpful.  I’ll definitely be returning to Bourbon Pride next time I’m in New Orleans.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
