Enjoyed a good night sleep. Pulled off I10 at a welcome center in louisiana last night around 10. A LONG day of driving on Wednesday, covering about 450 miles. Try to limit those types of days the rest of this trip. Showered up in the trailer for the first time, which worked quite well.
Just barely fit!
Not a pretty location, but free!
First stop was the Blue Dog Cafe in Lafayette, LA. Had read good reviews about this town and its Cajun cuisine. It was great! We each had a cup of soup and split the crawfish enchilada.
Yum!
Decided to check out Lake Martin after lunch. A very peaceful nature preserve just east of town. Saw some nice wildlife, but no gators.
Next stop was Avery Island for a scenic drive near the Tabasco factory. Turned out to be a bust.. $8/person to drive into their jungle garden, not worth it. Turned back around to make our way further west. Cool to see the flooded crawfish farms along the back roads before returning to I10.
Next stop is my aunt and uncle’s place near Houston.
