ACADIANA TRAIL


This is the first time we have seen alstramaria on the bush.

They are an edible flower and we used them to garnish our catering trays long ago when we owned Trios Catering Company.

















Azaleas are everywhere. Beautiful!






















Lamont went for a haircut in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and met Lauren Orazi, Thelma Reder Batiste, and Shonda Gobert. Lauren has a Canadian flag tattoo because her grandfather was Canadian. Thelma's grandmother lived to be 100 and only spoke Cajun French.










Brian Whetstine, security at the Coushatta Casino Red Shoes RV Park in Kinder, Louisianna, shared his recipe for sauce picante. He also introduced us to tasso, a brined and smoked pork meat used to flavor his sauce.








Our friends, Jim & Elaine McGowan,
arrived at the the Red Shoes RV Resort in Kinder, Louisiana. It was great to see them and their little dog, Darby. Like us, they will soon be on their way north.
