re: What are some memories from your young vacations to Grand Isle and other Louisiana areas?

Friend,

I spent a summer of my youth in Grand Isle and am working on a Top 10 memories of Grand Isle as we speak! God works in mysterious ways. But here is a brief run through foreshadowing. Pirates Cove in Uncle's Viking during the Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo 1998. Shrimp platters at Sarah's Diner and pizza at Starfish. Crabbing on the beach. Speckled trout limits wade fishing at the rocks. Sitting on the docks at Pirate's Cove drinking a lemon lime Slush Puppie. Cousin getting a speeding ticket in downtown Grand Isle and then talking his way out of it. Grocery shopping at the big grocery (Sureway?). Fishing off the pier in the State Park. Church services in Our Lady of the Isle. Going out in a flatboat to fish Barataria Pass one night and getting stuck in a shrimper's net. Exploring Fort Livingston with Cousin on a rained out trip. Limiting on reds in the canals along Highway 1 when the Viking had mechanical problems. Hanging out with the fish cleaners at Pirates Cove and learning how to filet fish from them. Handing out Bibles to people entering and exiting Artie's Bar. Getting struck by a stingray while crabbing and some lady on the beach offering to urinate on the wound. So many more memories!



Yours,
TulaneLSU
