We eat crawfish

Jan 8: We drove to Lafayette, LA. We found a KOA campground and lucked out. All the other campgrounds were full. They were occupied either by Katrina refugees or by FEMA personnel or by insurance adjusters. This campground decided to keep some spaces open for people passing through. After setting up camp and looking around we went to dinner at Randols a local Cajun restaurant and dance hall. Helen had a huge serving of crawfish and I had crawfish eteufey. Crawfish are small shellfish shaped like little lobsters. Each was about two inches long. You pull off the tail and squeeze out the meat.
The place had live Cajun music and a local Krewe was preparing for Mardi Gras. They were in costume. We danced a bit and got talking with the people. The waitress even helped Helen get the meat out of the little things.

Raggles slept in the car. On the way home we stopped at Wall Mart (again!) for a whole chicken for the dog. That will last a few days. – Howard
