We arrived on the Coushatta Indian reservation this afternoon after a very nice drive. The weather is just gorgeous so we know that means rain is on the way. We have had door and windows open since we arrived. Ah, fresh air. Nothing beats it.
The drive took us through rice growing country. Harvest has just been completed. I decided this is why so many Cajun recipes have rice in them. It is an abundant crop in this part of the country. We also found out that sugar cane, considered to be a form of grass but is technically a legume, will return every year for at least 10 years. So, once planted it is not too difficult to take care of. However, cane sugar is being imported from Mexico causing the Louisiana farmers to get too little for their crops. We went through that when Jerry was growing beet sugar. He finally quit growing it.
We will see what kind of trouble (aka "fun") we can get into tomorrow.
