13 - 28 March, Lafayette

Haven't posted for awhile...a little busy and a little lazy! But I think I'm the only one following this anyway!

What a wonderful firsy two weeks here! Started out with flooding in our campground but since about the 15th the weather has been beautiful...warm to hot during the day to very cool/coolish at night (49 to 85) with one day of rain inbetween. No complaints here.

We have has lots of music...from the festivals in Thibodaux and Eunice, to the free concerts in downtown Lafayette (on Friday evenings) at Parc International to a great evening at the Blue Moon Saloon.

We have just returned from a two day trip along the Creole Nature Drive and three great NWR sites with plenty of birding and seeing Southern and SW Louisana in all its glory. The downside however is all the oil refineries and attendant businesses. But in Iowa we have hog confinements and ethenol plants that mar our landscapes, so there is no escaping the mess that industry causes us no matter where we live. On the otherhand the areas we visited seemed clean and well cared for. But there are still hazards from the oil industry.

We topped off our two day trip with a great meal at Shucks! in Abbeville. Never a disaapointment there!
