Scenes from Cajun Country

After we left Florida, we spent Easter in Biloxi doing the usual gambling and attending Easter sunrise service on the beach. Then we drove to Abbeville, LA to enjoy some Cajun culture. It is crawfish season. We took a tour today of a rice/crawfish farm. Very impressive how the two coexist. We also drove the back roads to watch the harvesting of crawfish and the planting of the rice by airplane.

We were amazed at how high they build their houses.
