http://uiadinlouisiana.blogspot.fr/2015/03/1-d-61-introduction.html was born on March 9th, 2015. Anyone can return to this blog, which was created to prepare us for the trip and then to share some of our photos and impressions after we returned. What good memories! And what a pleasant way to practice English!
Here's another link to take you back to Louisiana's history...and other places...and to keep you using your English.

After reading/listening to this VOA article, continue reading here about The Louisiana Purchase and The Lewis and Clark Expedition, The Oregon Trail-->
Called the Louisiana Purchase (1803), this area included much of what are now the 15 states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) passed close to the Yellowstone region with no evident awareness of the thermal features hidden there.
John Colter, a former member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition who remained in the mountains made an epic winter journey (1807-1808) which took him through the Yellowstone region.
Later, many emigrants would cross what is now the state of Wyoming along The Oregon Trail.
Wouldn't it be interesting to go to this land of Craig Johnson, the American mystery crime writer (Walt Longmire) we met when he came to Grenoble early April this year?
The West, Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park.
I think it's time to start thinking about another trip, in 2017.
Anyone interested?

Goodbye Louisiana.
Hello Wyoming.
