So David Norman told us about this place where they play music every Saturday morning and of course everyone dances. It's only about 40 minutes from Jeanerette- we drove up this morning and caught the scene. One club, the Cafe des Artes, serves breakfast while a zydeco band plays- abandanddancing. People line up about 8:30 for tables- the lucky get breakfast- and by 11 or so it's winding down. Lots of tourists by now, but nobody seems to mind. The antique stores prosper.
On the way out of town we stopped at a coffee place, and everyone had migrated over there. This time, it was local cajun musicians jamming together. We are incapable of Real Dancing so we stole their images instead.
This looks the Louisiana I've always wanted to see. Where is it? People do seem so laid back there, which is one of the things I miss about CA these days.
