FGES TOUR #12: Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 The Shorts visited the Capitol Building of the Pelican State. 450 feet of Art Deco erection. Some interesting artwork in and on the structure, including how some 1930 artist perceived Black people.

The Shorts are embarrassed for America, and apologize to the world on its behalf. 

FGES TOUR #11: Buc-ee's, Luling, Texas

 

I couldn't resist paying a visit to "the largest convenience store in the world". It's like a mash-up of convenience store, department store, and a Crackerbarrel restaurant. Lots of Buc-ee (the Beaver) merchandise, including a waffle maker. It's weird when the store itself becomes a destination, rather than a stop along the way. Incredibly nice restrooms, though. 

I didn't know Buc-ee himself was going to be there, or I would have taken the Shorts inside with me.
