Jesus in Cowboy Boots!

For Lucky Cat's first travel adventure, no place seemed more appropriate than the beautiful, historic city of Paris... TX.
After visiting the historic Texas Eiffel Tower, it was time for some food. Lucky Cat's penchant for fish was indulged in excess at Don's Catfish dock, just a few miles outside of Paris.
The place was packed on this Friday night despite its bare white walls and stark flourescent lighting. The buffet of fried catfish, shrimp, and every fried side order imaginable made up for the lack of atmosphere. It was the perfect meal to give Lucky Cat energy for her next mission: finding Jesus.
The statue of Jesus in Cowboy boots was legendary in Paris, but no one seemed to know exactly where to find this phenomenom. Some had given up altogether, calling the statue an urban myth. After searching every inch of the local cemetary, Lucky Cat was beginning to agree with the naysayers. Then he saw it sticking out from the bottom of the robe of a rather effeminate looking statue carrying a cross. It was inconspicuous, but unmistakeable:

a cowboy boot on Jesus.

There's no place like Texas!
