Dear

and one large 18 wheeler.....

Okay so this leg of our trip was supposed to be a quick jaunt into Cajun country highlighted by a visit to a Cajun village from the early 1900....

but because we wound up sitting on the freeway watching he bravest firemen put out a raging fire that engulfed an 18 wheeler....we never got there.....We did take the most amazing drive through the creole Nature Trail. We drove on ferry (AWESOME) Drove over 14 bridges saw The 95 mile drive took us through salt domes and rice fields marshes and bayous.We saw u close the devastation that this fine land endured during hurricane Katrina....and like a phoenix rising from the ashes homes rebuilding.....on very tall stilts:)

these are resilient generous welcoming people....we are looking forward to the exploring even more today...but on foot and in a swamp boat.
