On Feb. 3, 2016, I hopped in a rental car with my friends, Brian and Veronica, and we trucked down through Iowa and Missouri, catching up to I-55 in a straight shot down to Louisiana in the hopes of getting into Abita Springs for a tour of the Abita Brewery, a sampling of various brews in their tasting room and to pick up hearty supplies for a weekend celebrating New Orleans and the Mardis Gras culture. These are a few of the social media posts I collected along the way. (Photos in reverse-chronological order, for now)
I reconnected with my friend, Angela, whom I met my college freshman year, which was 18 years ago. We hadn't seen each other since then and only in the last few years were we able to reconnect via Facebook. She's lived in San Diego, Nashville and now in Mandeville, which lies on the North Shore of Louisiana. We went out for lunch and drinks, some walking around, and we managed to snap this before she had to head back.
