Lunch at Cool Beans - Shreveport
Lunch at Cool Beans

Fondest memory: This is definately a MUST-EAT in Shreveport. The mexican food are SO GOOD!!! Cool Beans is a kind of Subway for Mexican-food devotees, but it don't taste like fast food at all. All the ingredients for burrito, taco and salad building are spread out like a punctured pinata. This restaurant is very artsy and eclectic. It offers made to order salads, burritos and more.

Cool Beans, 855 Pierremont, Suite 135 (in Towne Oak Square) Shreveport, (318) 868-5100.

Sci-Port Discovery Center - Shreveport
Sci-Port Discovery Center

Fondest memory: Sci-Port Discovery Center is just few minutes walk from the Red River Cruise Pier. We come across this group of school kids. They are so cute, posting for pictures. From this picture, you can see black rudes here in Shreveport (perhaps in Louisiana?). They have many interesting games inside the Sci-port, and my favourite is iMax, which is the only dome cinema in Louisiana.

Red River Cruise - Shreveport
Red River Cruise

Fondest memory: We took a ride on the Red River with the "Spirit of the Red" River Cruise. The boat is docked on the River directly across from Sci-Port. After seeing the beautiful Dorcheat Bayou last evening, this one-hour tour didn't interest me. And there are rubbish (plastic water bottle, cups, plastic bags, etc.) floating on the river... not nice view. But pretty relaxing though.

Largest Wall Painting in Louisiana - Shreveport
Largest Wall Painting in Louisiana

Fondest memory: This is the largest wall painting in Louisiana, with artist from New York. Well... it's not really very big though, we have bigger wall paintings here in Hong Kong. But I can say this painting is very detail and nice!

Elvis Presly Ave - Shreveport
Elvis Presly Ave

Fondest memory: I was too lazy to do any research about Shreveport before I came here, and were surprise to found that Elvis Presely actually started his singing career in Shreveport. He first performed here and signed his contract with Sun Records in Shreveport. From October 1954 through 1955 Elvis continued to rush back to Shreveport every Saturday night to play the Hayride.

Art? - Shreveport
Art?

Fondest memory: Well... I don't know what is this? Simply a very big tree along the sidewalk, in a funny shape. I don't know whether it is naturally grow like this? Or someone shape it...

Day 2 Breakfast: Strawn's Eat Shop - Shreveport
Day 2 Breakfast: Strawn's Eat Shop

Fondest memory: We check out our hotel at 7.30am (God, it's early!!!) then head directly to Strawn's Eat Shop for breakfast. The food is good with reasonable price. I ordered an omelettes with grits (As Featured in Southern Living Magazine 1994 and 2003!) and it's good. But portion is typical American size, too big for me, I don't usually eat such a big breakfast at home. I don't want to watse food but really could not help leaving 1/3 of the plate thrown away...
