We crossed into Louisiana, stopped at Frogmore Cotton Plantation & Gins. We joined a costumed guide to get insight into the contrasts between a working cotton plantation of the early 1800s and a modern cotton plantation and gin of today.
In the afternoon we experienced the Cajun culture first-hand during our visit to Vermilionville, a recreated Acadian village which re-enacted life in the Acadiana area between 1765 and 1890. In the evening, we went for dinner aqt the "Pont Breaux" restaurant at Breaux Bridge. Jay Cormier and his Cajun band were playing music. We both had fried catfish for dinner. It was very good.
I also spoke on the phone to my very distant cousin, Hardy Duhon of Lafayette. We will be visiting him and his wife, Maudrey. on Oct 7 (after the bus tour).
