Drove down to New Iberia, LA which is about 45 minutes from Breaux Bridge. This is a small town which James Lee Burke, an author of mysteries spent a lot of his childhood visiting family members in New Iberia.

If you read his books, especially the Dave Robicheaux series, you get a feel of living in the Louisiana gulf coast towns among the bayous. In fact there is walking or self-driving tour of places written about in his various books.

James Lee Burke's grandfather's house

In fact, in April there is a James Lee Burke Literary Festival. Unfortunately, we will be home by then. Otherwise, I would have attended.
  Rain has returned for a while, so we took a ride over to Grand Coteau and Arnaudville. Great little shops and restaurants. Browsed through antique shops where I found my funky lamp,

great kitchen store, and had lunch at Creola Cafe (only about 5 tables inside).

On the way back, we stopped at the Art Gallery in Arnaudville.

They were having a quilting bee going on.  On Saturday, LA-31 Brewery has life music. You never know what type of music. Local musicians show up; there is food barbecuing and of course their beer. Just pull up a chair or bring your own chairs and sit back and enjoy.  Off to Crawfish Town for Dinner -

There is no lack of food and music around Breaux Bridge and surrounding towns
