Laundry Day

Today started out pretty cloudy and dreary.  A good day to do the laundry which, I swear, accumulates faster in a motorhome!  We went into Abbeville to a nice laundromat and found that our neighbor in the RV Park was also there.  That made the time go faster to have someone to visit with.

After getting everything put away, we decided to take a ride to a restaurant/grocery store that we'd heard about in some other blogs, Suires.  It is known for local food that's very good and reasonably priced.  It has been in business for many years and run by the current family for 34 years.  We ordered po-boys (a local sandwich); a shrimp one and a shrimp and oyster one.  Very good!  It's so friendly here - while waiting for our order another customer started a conversation with us about this area.

After lunch, we took a rider around the area.  It's very flat and wet here.  We saw lots of fields where they have traps for crawfish set out.  Also, we saw more Cypress Knees.  Here is a picture of some:

They are growths from the roots of the Cypress trees that grow in the water around the base of the main tree.  No one really knows what their purpose is.

Tomorrow we're hitting the road to begin crossing Texas.  It will take us awhile, so we'll stay in touch!
