If it's like this in winter, I can't imagine what it's like here in summer 😨
The A/C unit in our camper is really getting a workout!
Back home in Canada, as everyone knows, we have Tim Horton drive-thrus. Well, down here in Louisiana they have daiquiri drive-thrus. I kid you not! New Orleans' whole "laissez les bons temps rouler" attitude goes way beyond what I expected. Driving back from the city one day we happened upon one. I couldn't quite understand what I was looking at. Then we saw another. And then another. And another. And finally, we decided we needed to try them because it seemed too weird to be true: drive-thru daiquiri stands. So today we drove over to the neighbourhood daiquiri stand, ordered two and moments later, we were handed our to-go cups - with straws, still in their paper wrappers on the side - and all we could think was, "How is this real?"
Well, Louisiana does have pretty relaxed liquor laws, in fact, it wasn't all that long ago, they finally caught up to the rest of the world and enacted a drinking and driving law. They did also introduce a law banning open liquor containers, with one exception: "any bottle, can, or other receptacle (containing frozen alcohol) with a lid in place and no straw through the lid" is perfectly legal!
Cheers!
