Bayou & Cajun Country

We've been in the Acadiana country.....what's that you say?

A little fun fact about Louisiana:

Acadiana (French and Louisiana French: L'Acadiane), also known as the Cajun Country (Louisiana French: Le Pays Cadjin, Spanish: País Cajún), is the official name given to the French Louisiana region that has historically contained much of the state's Francophone population.^[1]

Our stay at Poche's Fish N Camp was great. A drone video is forthcoming. We had warm, breezy weather. Got to go into Lafayette and Breaux Bridge for dinner and music 2 nights! YES.... they do have Uber out in the bayou!

 

The first night we went to Bon Temp Grill in Lafayette and was entertained acoustically by Sam Broussard. He's played with T-Mamou, Jimmy Buffett and Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys, whom we've seen at Rhythm & Roots.

Second night, we went to Buck & Johnny's in Breaux Bridge. What a place. An old converted car dealership into a 2 steppin Zydeco joint with great music. We saw Reggie Matte & the Jambalaya Cajun Band.  Great fun and authentic music. Watching everyone dance was reminiscent of my maternal aunts and uncles who all danced beautifully.

We ended our stay at Poche's,leaving behind my trademark rock, and have arrived here at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana for an overnight before heading on to Galveston Island, Texas. This park has been destroyed in Hurricane Laura. You can watch a brief video on the new transformation of this park.

We did make a brief stop at Crying Eagle Brewing Company which was a great brewery! 

We continue to meet fellow RVer's who share their stories and blogs. I love the southern charm and hospitality!
