Road trip to Lafayette for Father's Day celebration (Friday, June 22, 2018)

The road took us through Giddings so we had to stop at our favorite authentic taqueria for lunch: Taqueria Chihuahua.  Well worth the long wait in line for hot off the griddle tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, sausage, etc.  

We met Martin on Friday and stopped by 613 Claymore in Lafayette, our home in 1964-66, when I was in sixth and seventh grades. The subdivision was new; no tree in the front yard then. From Lafayette, we moved to New Orleans, where I lived until graduating from Benjamin Franklin High School in 1971.  Mom and Dad were there until about a year after Katrina hit in 2005.

Austin has speed bumps and speed cushions.  A speed bump by any other name (e.g., speed lump) is still a reason to slow down.  For 2,600 feet in this case!

Haven't seen a TV antenna in a long time.  You needed at least two people to operate it: one to go outside and turn the antenna pole, and one to watch the TV reception and yell "keep turning!" or "good!"

Finally!  Ham burgers!

A benefit of being in Lafayette, in the heart of Cajun country, is getting to shop at NuNu's Cajun market for seasoning and chicory coffee.
