Day 33 Cajun Style

In this restraunt as we ate a band was playing cajun music it reminded me of my Mom and Dad and the style of music they danced to a faster waltz and almost a polka very nice music. People we up dancing I never saw this in a restraunt before dancing as we ate it was neat.

This is Tim and Rachelle really nice people, they had boiled crawfish and hush puppies, hush puppies are like a corn bread. I tried the crawfish they were actually good once you got rid of the head ewh

Day 33 Cajun Style




We went out for supper tonight at Boutin's a authentic Cajun Style restraunt, they have a bayou out back and you can feed the turtles, however all Carol and I saw to feed were fish, that is what we did as we waited for their friends to join us for supper. This restraunt is in Baton Rouge.

Day 31 still in Louisanna


Here we are heading down the road about 5 miles or so to our other Walmart where we hope to be able to stay a few days, Carol made a chicken and sausage gumbo and I made dirty rice for our supper tonight it was really good, then we played a few games of cards.

Day 31 Still in Louisianna


Not much happening today here we are getting ready to leave our Walmart spot to go about 5 miles or so down the road to yet another Walmart want it to warm up a bit before we head to Tennesse, in the other picture is an ant hill it looks real inocent until you disturb it and then millions and millions of tiny tiny fire ants come squirring out they bite so best to stay away and keep Daisy away from those sand hills.

Day 29 Port Hudson State Historic Site in Louisiana



I climbed to the top of the watch tower and took some pictures there's Jim and the lake shows some small replicas of boats and subs I guess that were dipicting some battle, also we found out that near the end of March they have a living history event to demonstrate the Civil War, with weapons and equipment and cosutmes it sounds like it would be something to see but we will have headed out before it was going to happen.

Day 29 Port Hudson State Historic Site in Louisiana





Some of the vegetation we saw on the trail from Bamboo to plants that look like they could be in your homes. It was very nice and interesting.

Day 29 Port Hudson State Historic Site in Louisiana





Here we are going on a hike on the trail where the battle between the states took place it is a well marked easy trail we only went on half of it it is in total about 6 miles long, lots of intersting trees and vegetation to see and it shows were some of the cannons and men would of been hiding or waiting for their enemies.

Day 29 Port Hudson State Historic Site in Louisiana





We decided to go to Port Hudson in Zachary, Carol was not feeling well so did not come with us today, Port Hudson is both the North and the South wanted control of the Mississippi, since it was the first site with high ground upstream from Baton Rouge and overlooked a servere bend in the river it was the perfect spot for river batteries. Lots of History and Information about this battle in the museum.
