Eunice, LA

On Friday we packed up and headed to Eunice, LA. We have stopped there a couple of times before and really like the area. It is the center of Prairie Cajun culture and the food and music is great! We stay at the L'Acadie RV Park (pronounced lock-a-dee). Friday night was supper at Rocky's Cajun Restaurant. Boiled and deep fried shrimp and fish, and live Cajun music. 

Saturday morning I went down to a big flea market north of Lafayette and stopped at a Camping World there to pick up a couple of drawer latches. We spent the afternoon at the prairie acadian cultural center in Eunice. Historical displays, live Cajun music, and a cooking demonstration (with samples!), then next door to the Liberty Theater for a concert.

Today after Mass we had lunch at Rocky's again. Broiled fish for Janice and shrimp Etouffee for me. and a couple of bowls of Gumbo to go for tomorrow. Then we drove out to look at a herd of miniature deer that I had spotted yesterday. This farmer had quite a herd.




Then we saw signs leading us to Christine Richards grave, so we followed them. To learn more about her click here.


And finally a picture of me and a gorilla. Just because.


Tomorrow we move to Waveland, MS.
