LOUISIANA
We arrived in Breaux Bridge a week ago. We are staying at Poche's Fish and RV Camp.
We are in Cajun country about 2 hours west of New Orleans. Later this week we will be heading to New Orleans. We have stayed here before. On arrival, we were informed that the campground had been sold to a young couple. We hope they do not make many changes. There was a parade of golf carts in which beads and candy were thrown to us. It was like a mini Mardi Gras!!!
We headed to Point Breaux Restaurant for dinner. There is live music and good food. Skip had their catfish and I had the crawfish etouffee. Delicious!!!
  We took a ride down to Pierre Port, LA. It is about a 2 hour drive down to the bayou. This is where the reality show"Swamp People" reside. We did not see the Landry's but posters are around. Also someone made images of the Landry's out of cypress.

 Another day, we went into Breaux Bridge to walk around and have lunch. After all, this is Louisiana and food rules!!!!  Went into Chez Jacqueline's for lunch. Had her alligator, shrimp, catfish and crawfish appetizer - lots of it - brought what I could not finish back to motorhome. While there, Jacqueline mentioned she was having an 8 course bouillabaisse meal on Saturday night. We signed up - I mentioned that our anniversary was Sunday.

  Well, Saturday night there were about 10 couples for the dinner. Jacqueline seated Skip and I at our table. There were flowers and our own chocolate cake for us!!! What a nice surprise. There were at least 5 appetizer courses, salad, bread, the entrĂ©e containing lobster, claims, mussels and dessert. Also had live music. It was a great night; everyone was stuffed. Great way to spend an evening.
 As I said food rules in Louisiana!!!!
