It was a cold and sunny morning. The RV park gave us a complimentary waffle breakfast. We were soon in Louisiana. We arrived early at Poche’s Fish N Camp in Breaux Bridge, the “Craw Fish Capital of the World“ . There were 5 one acre lakes with beautiful blue water. We ate crawfish estoufee and Cajun sausage at the Poche’s restaurant and market nearby. We bought some sausage to take with us. Then we took a walk around one lake. We did some laundry then settled in to watch the Super Bowl. There is a lot of Saints fever here and excitement when they won. We’ll be in New Orleans tomorrow.

It was a pretty morning so we took another walk around the lake. On the way to New Orleans we went over several very long bridge structures. One must have been over 15 miles long - quite an engineering feat! We went over marshlands, swamps and rice fields. It was amazing to see cypress trees draped with moss growing in the water. We crossed bays, rivers, and streams. It was hard to take pictures from the car window because the sun was shining directly in the window. Maybe on the way back!
On the way to the State University of New Orleans we saw several destroyed and damaged homes from Katrina. There was a lot of construction repairing roads and a levee. The campus has a very nice set up for RVs near the athletic fields. We have ample space with full hookups. There are 54 rigs in our group from all over the US and Canada. Registration and Orientation will be tomorrow.
