Saturday

Had breakfast at Bubba's in Jeanerette, then lolled about till mid- afternoon. Took a drive to the nearest point on the Gulf. Like the east coast of Mexico: flat, brown water and coarse sand. Then went in search for food- Chowhound pointed out a steakhouse in Baldwin, very near Jeanerette- followed map to a side street that got wider and led us to - Cypress Bayou Casino. (Thanks, Chowhound-) Drove back through Jeanerette- Sonic America's Drive In? to New Iberia, another 25 miles or so- amid recrimination and casting of blame. Finally found oysters and ribs in historic downtown NI. We have the same problem in SF, where the restaurants come every block or so.

  3. The Eileen is beautiful! Looking forward to the next installment. What's the music like? Drawings of your neighbors? Good swimming? Alligators? Stars at night? Feels like we're on this journey with you. Thanks!

  4. After leaping over numerous technical hurdles, I think I can finally post.

    Not that I have anything of value to add, except that I'm glad you're not completely devoid of culinary resources.

    Do the furry ones like crawdads? What about crawmoms?
