We left out about 9:30am headed for the Post Office and then took off for a swamp tour about 12 to 15 miles west of town. When we got there the first tour had left at 10:00am and we missed it, so we headed for the Acadian Village which is a collection of Acadian Houses around a bayou. It also had a doctor’s office and a blacksmith shop. All the houses were from the 1800’s.
Next we went to Vermilionville. This is also a group of homes ranging from 1765 to 1890. Some are original buildings and some are reproductions. They are a combination of Cajun, Creole, and Native American houses.
After all this culture we came back to the campground for a couple of hours and then took off for Randol’s Restaurant and Cajun Dancehall. The food was really good, Twila and I both had a Red Snapper dish that was a little bit of Cajun spice but really good. Tomorrow we are going to go by the “Jungle Garden” on Avery Island in New Iberia, LA on our way to New Orleans.
