Day 7 (Baton Rouge): Small City, Large Food

We arrived in Baton Rouge after a 5 hour drive from Houston that included a severe storm that followed us around.  At some point, we couldn't see more than a few feet in front of the car.

Eating at The Chimes.  Having an Abita Andygator, very flavorful and a favorite of our table.  Crabcakes and blackened alligator to start.  The sausage-encrusted, oyster Po'Boys are amazing.

Later in the night we return to our very stylish Radisson (it Loos like a Japanese garden inside of each room).  We end up walking (against the advice of locals) to Port Royal and The Cove, two local bars with an excellent selection of beer.

Off to the State Capitol and then New Orleans tomorrow.
