In Cajun Country, A Photo Essay
Thank you for reading this week’s In Cajun Country post. Hope you like the photos!
I’m writing a travelogue for GlobalOutdoors.com. They post a new installment every Monday. You can see the first one here…
Our week started at Fontainebleu State Park, on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. At one time, the property was a sugar cane plantation, with slaves providing the manpower. Now it’s a state park where those slave’s descendants can recreate. Maybe we are making progress as a race.
The surrounding communities have some interesting attractions, although many are still closed due to COVID. Travel during a pandemic has some drawbacks.
From there we went to Palmetto Island State Park, in the heart of Cajun country. We learned to eat crawfish, and learned about the Abbeville Omelette Festival, where they make a gigantic omelette by using more than 5000 eggs!
After two nights there we headed to Texas, where we are currently. Big Thicket National Preserve is the coolest place I’d never heard of! We stayed two nights in Village Creek State Park, outside Beaumont. But we’re moving again!
Thank you for reading this week’s In Cajun Country post!
Life is great and I love life!
Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! or take a trip!
