Lake Pontchartrain

On Friday, Jerry drove me out to see Lake Pontchatrain, which forms the northern border of New Orleans. We drove his friend Jake to work, and then got some fresh seafood for the next two ngihts' dinner. We got pounds of shrimp, caught that morning, that Jerry barbecued. I thought stuffed crawfish looked interesting, so we got some of those too. I liked them a lot more than I thought I would, but then Jerry is a good cook.
