Louisiana - - The Sportsman's Paradise

Okay, so I haven't actually lived in LA since 1996, but was born and bred on the bayou. Ancestry in Louisiana on both Mom and Dad's side go back to the 1780's and the Spanish Isleño settlers from Canary Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islenos) with a healthy dose of Cajun French along the way.

You know you're from LA if . . . you know how to pronounce names like Goutreaux, Thibodeaux, Oncale, Carpentier and Herbert Hebert (an actual guy I once knew) . . .

or towns such as Terre aux Boeufs, Natchitoches and Paincourtville

(these are my people - - - > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paincourtville,_Louisiana ).

Home of: Mardi Gras, fais-do-dos, jambalaya, crawfish pie and GUMBO (dat's me).

And in case you were wondering if I'd ever get around to it . . .

GEAUX TIGERS!

Who doesn't like a state that is known as the Sportsmen's Paradise? Home of the city of New Orleans and the cajun culture, let's see if we can stir the melting pot and find some mythical beasts from LA!!

From the huge city of Shreveport to the swamps, Louisiana is one of the most exciting states around.
