Abita Springs Bike Festival

Definitely the second lamest festival I have attended since arriving in Louisiana, after the Natchiotches Festival of Lights. Ugh...Let's just say that I knew I was in trouble when I go to the location of the festival and did not see any indication of a festival going on. There were MAYBE fifteen tents with random people who brought their tricked out bikes to show off at the festival tent. The website for this festival was deceiving (at best) as to the magnitude of the event. I really need to stop attending events outside of California with any sort of expectation of them being as cool as a similar event I attended at home.

The trip was salvaged, though, when I discovered a tent selling ice cream with creole tomato chocolate sauce. DELISH!

Definitely won't be going to this event a second time.
