Louisiana Satsuma Trees in Breaux Bridge
Today we accidentally stumbled upon an orchard of Louisiana satsumas. This time of year we always get satsumas from Fairhope, Alabama but since we are not there, we had to settle for Louisians sats. Oh my what a wonderful and delicious way to settle! They are fabulous. The sad part is that they had such a bumper crop the fruit is dying on the trees. After we left there we continued on our journey to the Crazy About Crawfish Cafe. What a delightful cafe, full of locals, some of whom we had an ongoing conversation with throughout the meal. You do not meet strangers in Acadiana. Zydeco music was playing and people were smiling. Jerry had a crawfish burger with sweet potato fries. I had a grilled catfish poboy. Then we split a homemade bread pudding that we would not have wanted to miss. It had the usual raisins but also had pineapple in it. It was just fabulous, like no other that we have ever had. The entire meal was an experience we will not forget for a long time. Now we are back trying to plan our next stop. We have noticed an odd trend. Everybody coming in here today has a golf cart. After they connect then they pile into the cart and drive 'round and 'round the lakes. Some have music blaring. Some have LSU hats and flags and beads. It has become hysterical to us that this seems to be a form of local entertainment. I think these are the people the owner warned us about when we checked in. She said some people would be coming in to party on New Year's Eve and they like to have fun. We are invited to the party. No thanks, we stick out like sore thumbs. When we walk in any place, people stop and stare like we are from a strange country. So, we'll celebrate here. My biggest concern right now is that if all of these carts plug in to charge them at the same time, we will loose all electrical power in this park. I bet tomorrow we do not have to go anywhere. The entertainment will be here and it will be free.
