Rain, Rain, Rain Go Away

It rained most of the night last night.  I don't mind going to sleep listening to the rain hit against the trailer.  We had planned to drive to Hammond because there is a large Camper World store but the forecast was for rain off and on so we decided to stay closer to the camper.

We drove to the downtown area of Breaux Bridge.  There are quaint and interesting little shops and antique shops in that area.  Bad idea..most of the shops are closed Monday and Tuesdays.  We decided to head over to Lafayette to visit the Jean Lafayette Acadian Center.  Bad idea...we couldn't find it.  We did not see one sign for it and only had a vague idea of where it was.  We decided to go back to Breaux Bridge and take a road south out of town just to look at the scenery.  Then the skies opened up and it rained, rained, and rained some more.  We went back to the camper.  Carol watched TV; I slept; and Sandy hid between the couch and table.  She does not like storms and there were a couple of lightening strikes (they went straight down to the ground) followed by loud thunder.   Finally about 3:30 it stopped raining so Sandy and I could take a quick walk.

The seven of us went to Govani's an Italian restaurant in Breaux Bridge for supper.  It was a nice change from Cajun food.  The portions were enormous, so much so that Peggy couldn't finish hers.  No worry, a take-home box is not needed when Carol is in the group.  He graciously ate his and finished hers.  He is such a gentleman!  After supper, we drove to another campground in which Don and Peggy had stayed on an earlier trip.  It was more rural and quiet but I think if we are able to come back here again, we will probably stay at the Cajun Palm.   It was another good day in the bayou.

This sign was above a bridge into Breaux Bridge.  They advertise that this area is the Crawfish Capitol of the Country.

Carol had some of his buddies for supper.

Niki was curious but her curiosity wouldn't let her get any closer.

This crayfish came from under Don and Peggy's motor home this morning.  I wonder if he was an escapee from a big boiling pot of water at the Crawfish Town USA restaurant next door.
