Iconic Southern Stops

Buc-ee's, a gas station and convenience store chain based in Texas that puts Walmart Supercenters to shame. We visited the one just outside of Mobile Alabama.

Waffle House, the ubiquitous Southern breakfast cafe chain is open 24 hours a day. They're more common in the South than Baptist Churches.

Only in the South... A grocery store chain called Piggly Wiggly.

We visited Lambert's Cafe in Foley Alabama for some down home Southern cooking and throwed rolls.

Avery Island... Home of Tabasco Sauce... 

Here, Angela poses with her favorite Tabasco flavor.

'Nuff said...

In Lafayette, Louisiana, this is the Best Cajun Market. Be sure to get some cracklins and boudin. "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" (Let the good times roll!)

Ok... Not a Southern thing, but can you expect Angela to stay away from Costco if there's one nearby? This is the one in Mobile, Alabama. We also visited Costco in Dallas and Wichita.


For the next installment, I'll share the delicious food we sampled during our trip.

Till then, grace, peace and blessings...

Arnold and Angela.
