Cajun Coast

Since a short day was planned, we took a lot of time getting ready to leave.  We even took a long walk around the campground before taking off.  After getting back to the interstate, it was a short hop down to Lafayette, and then down US90 to Baldwin.  For the granddaughters, the area is known as the "Cajun Coast" - look it up and tell us why.

We are a day too early to get into our project site, but there is yet another casino nearby with its own RV parking area.  The on-line reviews of this place sounded OK so we are now only 3 miles away from where we will be for the next 2 weeks.  We found a site, paid for it, and went exploring.  First exploration was to go to Baldwin and find the Methodist complex.  Here it is:

Then we viewed what RV parking is available there and selected a couple of sites we will try to get tomorrow.  For further exploring, we had heard many interesting things about tourist stuff and restarants in the town of New Iberia.  We went there and found most things we were interested in were closed (on a Saturday afternoon?).  We will rely on our fellow volunteers, later this week, to suggest where we should go.
We did see a 4-lane wide lift bridge, so Duluth isn't the only place to have one.  But Duluth's is much longer and photogenic.  On the way back to our parking spot, we figured out what some of the local agriculture is about - Sugar Cane.  Always curious!!
