Now that Mardi Gras is over and we have plenty of beads, we decided to just "chillin out" around the campground and letting our tummies take a rest. Well that lasted a day. Went over to LA-31 Brewery for some beer, music and food. Not only local
musicians, but we have a trio of ladies from Europe who had recorded in Alabama, and are touring around pull in and play.
I am not a big beer lover, but LA-31 beer is good. Skip picked up a few cases to bring home, had some barbecue, and we sat and enjoyed the music.
For anyone in the area of Arnaudville, usually every Saturday someone is playing at LA-31 Brewery.
    For Valentine's Day we went to Pat's on the Levee in Henderson. More good food. Before leaving the area, I went to see Leslie at Vision's Hair Salon. Great place - salon used to be a church. One of the hairdresser's had to leave because her daughter was in the running for "Queen of the Crawfish Festival" which is coming up in the spring. Hope she won.
Skip went over to The Fruit Stand to pick up alligator to bring home. We also stopped at Poche's Market to pick up boudins and etouffee to bring home.
   Had dinner at Pont Breaux one night. More good food and music. Following night ate at Crazy Bout Crawfish. I was going to get plenty of crawfish to eat before we left. When you pull in the parking lot, you notice that the Crawfish Queen has her own parking space.

  Afterwards, we stopped at Lisa's Daiquiri's on way back to campsite. Is a small whole in the wall place with video slot machines. Skip met Marty who wants to take Skip alligator hunting.

Marty kept telling Skip that he would catch the gator and Skip could shoot it. Skip told him next year when we come, he'll look Marty up!!! Skip just wants to see a gator close up, not shoot it. We'll see what happens when we return. Near campground is an airfield for those with remote control airplanes. Skip enjoyed going over to watch them fly. The turbo jet planes are about $25,000.00 each the owner told Skip. Guess we are not getting one.

  Day before we left, we were invited over to Laurie and John's for jumbalaya. They are both Cajuns. Robin and Glen from Minnesota were also there. Great jumbalaya!!! I made a coffee cake for dessert. Lots of wine!  Great time!! 




Skip and I always regret when we leave Breaux Bridge, LA. We love being here. We love staying at Poche's Fish & RV Park. We love the area, the people, the music, and of course the food!!!! Can't wait to come back!!!!!
