Well, it took a full week for Cornelia to get back on the road. We are grateful for our friends who let us crash in their guest suite in Lafayette, LA. On our first night, they took us to safely hear LIVE MUSIC outdoors for only the second time since March 2020. Hideaway renovated an old house to create a bar/music venue with the feel of an old Louisiana house dance.
We both love Cajun food and if we had to break down somewhere, we are happy that we got to eat well all week, waiting on the RV repairs! Po’boys, oysters, crayfish, etouffee, fried and boiled shrimps, and jambalaya are just some of the samplings. Joe learned how to make jambalaya over an open flame from the master, Duane. Starting with about five pounds of meat, there was a lot of jambalaya in the giant cast-iron pot.
After a leisurely lunch at Chez Jacqueline’s in Breaux Bridge, we were treated to a winter boat tour of the bayou near Atchafalaya Basin Landing. To warm up when we returned to shore, we grabbed some beers on the porch of Turtle Bar, where the resident dock cat curled up with Sarah for a nap. Of course.
Where in the world are the Gills?
