When you go to Louisiana, take a trip through cajun country. This stretch of land from across the Gulf of Mexico, to the south central portion of the state, is where soup was made into gumbo, musical instruments consisted of washboards, the swamps and bayous with moss covered cypress tree's turn this into a mystical paradise to explore. With many long lasting influences from the French, Spanish and African ancestor's, Louisiana is a model of culture diversity. Louisiana's wrought iron balconies have made their own mark in architecture history. Plantation homes, along the mighty Mississippi, to the raised cottage's, still being rebuilt today in cajun country, are some of the diverse styles of housing you'll see in this great state. |
