Tonight we are staying at a Cayjan Restaurant in Louisiana. Patty and I are going to sleep on our pads in the Resturant between the tables after it closes at 9 pm. The others are sleeping in the camper and tear drop trailer parked behind the Restaurant. For dinner I had a cultural Louisiana experience by eating locally grown crawfish. I asked our host what a local would eat and he said at least 5 pounds so I said OK, and here they are. I was still eating after everyone else had long finished their dinners. Our host and his wife are very hospitable and it has been a very enjoyable experience staying here with them. A major part of the fun of a trip like this is all the people we get to meet and talk to. The bicycle trip prompts lots of questions and conversations with people. We had another very enjoyable day of riding our bicycles. The weather was sunny and not to hot, the wind was minimal with a few hours of a tail wind, the terrain was mostly flat, and the scenery was beautiful. We are in the area of Louisiana that has lots of bayous with trees growing in the water with lots of turtles and snakes. I looked for alligators but didn’t see any. We only rode 46 miles today which felt nice and tomorrow we will go around 60 miles. We will cross the Mississippi River tomorrow and cross out of Louisiana into the state of Mississippi. We are sleeping in a church tomorrow night.
Dee- I am sooo proud of your accomplishment; 5 lbs. of crayfish! Makes my mouth water looking at it! Praying for you and “Team Duke” as you keep spinning those wheels!
