After leaving Alabama and the Phillips we headed to Louisiana via Mississippi. We spent a night in the driveway of some more good friends, Bill and Kate Chaney and their new little cute puppy, Sofie. They had just completed a six month mission last November in the Washington Tacoma Mission serving in the Parkland area. They took us on a grand tour of Alexandria and dinner at a local restaurant. Bill insisted that we try some local Cajun food. Which was delicious!! Kate insisted we try some "King" cake. It was like a combination cake and a very moist roll. It had frosting with purple, green and gold sparkles on top. It was delicious also. The story behind the cake is about the Three Kings and their search for the baby Jesus after his birth. Every cake is baked with a baby in it. If you happen to get the piece with the baby, you are responsible for baking or buying the next "King" cake. It is served from Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season until Fat Tuesday. Kate gave us the Mardi Gras beads. The purple beads represent Justice. The green beads stand for Faith, and the gold (didn't get any of those) signify power. Those are the official Mardi Gras colors.
We're back, West of the Mississippi
