We've been making the rounds in Louisiana this week. Started in Lafayette, visiting a new dealer there. Steve did an employee clinic. Their shop is beautiful with lots of open wooden beams. They had a fishing clinic presented by our Regional Hobie Fishing Team Member. It was standing room only. I learned a lot about lures. Oh, the guy in the red shirt was signing the clinic. He was cool to watch too.
Next we headed to Baton Rouge where Steve gave a clinic to our dealer there.
Then it was on to New Orleans for the weekend. We worked a show just a few blocks from the French Quarter. The show was really interesting. It was scientists from all over the world who work on projects studying human-environmental interactions.
SETAC They liked our yaks, and understood the mechanics of the pedals at a glance... wow! Then they would ask me questions in scienceez... yikes!
(Oh, I see the fin is cantilevered, but how does the propulsion compare to that of a rotary propeller?)
Yes, we did take a look around town. While Monday afternoon on Bourbon Street is pretty tame, but we found some gumbo and jumbalaya. Played a little black jack at Harrah's. (I made $5 last an hour and a half. Had it up to $25... but then blew it all. Just couldn't walk away a winner.) haha
We took a stroll down the River Walk along the Mississippi. The shipping freighters are fun to watch. I was surprised how fast they cruise.
They have the palm trees all dressed up for the Holidays.
