We Meet

We are fourteen Monaco motor home travelers from eleven states all gathered together in New Orleans to spend nineteen days seeking Lagnaippe, explained by our leaders as “something more”.  One of our caravan leaders, Rita Carlson, explained the rules of our Lagniappe experience.
If our first evening together is any indication, we will be enjoying many “things more.”  Our first meal consisted of two choices of Gumbo, either “mild” or “spicy”.


Then came a dessert of bread pudding, followed by our Lagniappe, Doberge cake, a traditional New Orleans dessert.

All of the food was prepared by special needs students at a local school.  So already we have begun with something more.  We are promised to put on at least 25 lbs. by the end of the caravan.

After our first dinner, our first breakfast started with a New Orleans tradition of coffee and beignets.  Powdered sugar rained everywhere.
