Vacation... hurray? (PICTURES - no 56k)
I'm taking a short leave of absence for a family vacation. Now, before you guys say anything, I already know you'll miss me. :|
We'll be going to New Orleans, which is cool. After that, I'll be in Alabama... for reasons that are only clear to my father. "There's a beach!" he says. Yeah, Alabama is also the gun-totinist, inbredinist, humidinist hell hole in the South. Hurrah. Bah, I'll need this thread again in three weeks anyway... Oh and all you other 'Merkans and holiday-enjoying types feel free to share your summer plans as well, aight? |
Have a fun time! ;)

Although you already know I'll miss you much much much, I thought I'd let you know that I will miss you a further much.
Tata, and have fun! :D Alcar... |
I'll miss you more than any one of these sad sacks :p

---------- 56K WARNING ----------

But I found a cool comic book by a local artist, so hurray! Oh, and also... I FOUND HOT SAUCE!!! I lurves me some spicey food. About 12 bottles were bought between my father and I. No joke. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_001.jpg My brother took the picture. It's all blurry. Anywho, New Orleans. Steamboat tour (lame), carriage tour (decent), fanboat swamp tour (cool), etc. Good food. But my favorite part of the trip was visiting a good ole' New Orleans graveyard; they have to bury their dead above ground because of tradition and the water tables. I'm guessing corpses wouldn't taste very good in the water supply. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_004.jpg Me standing next to the grave(s) of Marie Laveau, the Queen(s) of Voodoo. There were actually three of her, which is why she never seemed to die and could be in more than one place at once. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_005.jpg Cool ethnic grave. This one was for the Italians, I believe. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_007.jpg More of the Italian Sepulcher. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_009.jpg The cemetary gate. Like I said, this was my favorite part of the trip. After New Orleans, we went to Gulf Shores, Alabama. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the drive down there was scary. I saw at least five giant white crosses followed by church/compounds. When I say giant, I mean "six stories tall" giant. The crosses gave off a weird vibe, especially since they were pretty much the only buildings in the middle of Alabama/Mississippi. We seriously had trouble finding a gas station. The water was a very pretty shade of blue and teal. Nice beach, too. Not much swimming because of the violent rip-tide, though. Once again, I made an ass of myself by trying to skimboard. I'm not showing you the pictures. https://home.comcast.net/~mechawasabi/random1_010.jpg There was a water park down there. I really like water parks. I'm the dot screaming like a banshee at the bottom of the picture. That slide was insane. The end. |
Ooooh, I've always wanted a Voodoo Doll...just for fun, not torture! :D
Ouch! Owwww! My Leg! Agggg! :eek: -oddguy :dead: *comes back to life* Those above ground graves are awesome looking...and very creepy. |
