Cajun Food FEAST + SWAMP Tour! ...I held a baby alligator!!

Hi! I’m Christine! After working for many years in sales and business ownership, I felt major burnout. I sold my houses, extra cars, and most of my belongings. Now I'm happier than ever having very few material things. I travel living out of my vehicle. I roam the USA looking for adventure, food, and fun! I'm never sure what the future holds. Join the adventure and find out with me!
In this video, I enjoy Turtle Sauce Picquante and a crawfish pistolette at Suire's Grocery & Restaurant in Kaplan, Louisiana. I also take a boat ride into the swamp to see amazing trees, birds, turtles, and alligators!

    I use to travel in and around Louisiana . There were a lot of red small traps in the fields for crawl fish . Love the state great people . Just remember when you get close to the water an alligator can jump out the water very fast . I have been on that tour really cool .

    Brings back childhood memories of the deep South. The newspaper clipping was from the Times Picayune, the major New Orleans paper. But it's probably even more impressive considering the New Orleans food culture.😊❤❤❤
