Local Flavor

Saturday I spent a little time getting to know my new area. First, I went to the Covington farmers market.

It didn't really make sense for me to buy anything before I have a kitchen. But I did buy some local honey. I'm hoping it will help with the allergies I've suffered here. 

The farmers market is held in a park, across the street from the town cemetery.

On the other side is the Hall of Justice.

A couple blocks away is the Covington trailhead of the Tammany Trace, Louisiana's only rails-to-trails greenway. The Covington trailhead resembles an old-fashioned railroad station.

And if you're a bike rider, there's a really nice trail to follow.

The greenline is 31 miles, crossing the Bogue Falaya. Which is really fun to say. bo-guh fuh-lie-uh

The section in Abita Springs is one of the most popular parts of the Trace. Maybe because of the charming Abita Trailhead Museum.

Maybe because there's a great children's park there.

But probably because of the Abita Brew Pub.
