Louisiana

Jazz, Gumbo, and Absinthe In The Home of Mardi Gras

While New Orleans and Mardi Gras may come first to mind, Louisiana is a state with a unique and distinctly American culture. A collision of cultures in colonial Louisiana resulted in the Creole community whose unique cuisine, music, and architecture remains today. The states extended southern border along the Gulf of Mexico and winding waterways also makes it an excellent destination of seafood and water sports.
