Le Cafe du Musee

Betty's RV Park
Abbeville, LA

It seems that we are one

of the few couples here

at Betty's that have

never been here before.

Betty's place here is so

welcoming and inviting,

that RVrs come back 

year after year..

and stay for weeks!

We do feel very welcome, however.

Betty told us about the local

farmer's market..

so we took a drive up to 

check it out..

There were more craft items

than produce, but it was

nice to walk around.

We did purchase a loaf

of pumpkin-curry bread.

Odd combination, but it

was really good!

At 2 pm, we took Betty's

suggestion and headed into

Erath with most all of the

other RVrs that are staying here.

There is a place called

Le Cafe du Musee

where a group of musicians

playing some great Zydeco music

get together every other Saturday

and have a jam session.

We were lucky enough to hit

the right Saturday!

It was pretty cool..most of the 

songs were in French Cajun

but it got the crowd hopping.

We even got to be a part

of the induction of a man

into the Cajun Order of Living Legends..

..and then they coaxed him into 

playing a number with the band.

I unfortunately did not get his

correct name (they were all hard to understand!).

It was a great day, and we just

love the Cajun culture.

Tomorrow we are planning to

go to Avery Island, 

and tour the Tabasco factory.

Betty has planned a pot-luck tomorrow,

and is bringing a few singers here

to entertain us all :-)
