We left Cypress Bayou Casino RV Park around lunch time. We only had about 50 mi to our next destination where we'll stay for a few weeks. Our next stop is at Betty's RV Park in Abbeville, Louisiana, a really fun place to be.
We have never visited this time of year, but we have coordinated our stay with a couple of festivals happening while we're here. One that we've been really looking forward to and never have been able to see is called the Giant Omelette Festival in Abbeville.
First, we had to celebrate Halloween with Betty and her guests at her RV Park. Betty has a happy hour every day at 4:30 p.m. and all guests are invited to attend, and generally all do. Each guest typically brings a snack and their own preferred beverage.
On Halloween Sharon baked some "witches' fingers" which are pizza dough wrapped around cheese with an almond for the fingernail and a little bit of marinara for the blood, kind of a fun little treat...
This time of year, there are a lot of festivals on the weekends. Our first weekend was no exception. The first Festival we attended was the International French Bread Festival in Jeanerette, Louisiana.
It was about a 40-minute drive from our RV park but what fun we had while we were there. There was a lot of live music and a lot of booths selling food and crafts. A band that we particularly enjoyed was called Little Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers.
While at this particular fair, we were able to taste a catfish poor boy smothered in crawfish etoufee. Boy was it good! But the main reason we came was to listen to some Zydeco music. If you've never heard Zydeco you should come to Southern Louisiana and enjoy this style of music. It's fast paced and lively. You'll go away extremely exhausted if you decide to dance to it.
Next up will be the Giant Omelette Festival, we can hardly wait..
