Friday and Saturday night we stayed in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana - in the "Cajun Heartland". We wanted to hear zydeco music before we left Louisiana and we found the right place. The resort campgound we stayed at had live music Sat. afternoon in their tiki bar. Near the campground, a charity benefit was going on Sat. night. At the benefit, you paid $10 each for a gumbo cook-off and zydeco music by the Kickin' Cajuns. So we got our fill our yummy gumbo and lots of music. Sunday we finally made it into Texas. We are staying on Galveston Island. Water all around us, but we were not lucky enough to get a water front camp sight. Unfortunately it is raining today. A good day to do some laundry and looks to be about all it will be good for! Tomorrow the plan is to head to San Antonio.
Comments from Eldon: The Cajuns accent was difficult to understand except when they were singing. The gumbo was good, the music was happy and the dancers looked like they were having fun. I do like little community festivals.
Comments from Larry: Cajuns drink too much and party too late. It was hard to get a decent nights sleep in their campground. And too many dogs - again. The Cajuns like big dogs.
