Gracious Architecture

One of my favorite endeavors while touring the Deep South is admiring the wealth of beautiful architecture. From creole cottages to Greek Revival, I love it all. These pictures are all of the tiny but mighty Charleston, South Carolina.

Hot cities call for cool treats, like this nectar soda at the trendy Creole Creamery on Prytania Street in New Orleans.

Chill out, y'all!

At the Creole Creamery in New Orleans on Prytania Street

Bayou Bakery, 1515 N. Courthouse Road, Arlington, VA

Dear Imaginary Friends,

If you are stuck in the icy depths of the Washington, DC, area, and need a little spot of Nawlins sunshine, come on down to the Bayou Bakery. It has very tasty gumbo, muffalettas, pralines, beignets, cafe au lait, and the whole durn Creole/Cajun shebang.

The decor is cute, with a see ya later, gator sign, and old painted shutters in various pastels. The prices are so low, you would swear they were paying you to eat there! OH, my. What a deal. A taste of the Big Easy, it is a casual establishment, where one orders at the counter.  The Bayou Bakery has an old school charm.

It is the next best thing to flying to New Orleans.

See ya there, cher!
Love,

Your Imaginary Friend,

Cajun Patsie
