More Cajun stuff

We arrived at Lafayette and checked in early.  We took a room on the 3rd floor for the first time in ages.  We napped and met Trahans at Randols fo crawfish and dancing.  He is really heavy but she is somewhat healthier than last fall.  We had a nice visit before they left and we danced.  There was a pretty good crowd and were fun to watch while we danced ourselves.  We were clicking tonight and moved well but not as well as many others.  We were home by 10.  Evelyn was tiring so we left the dance at 9:30.

Thursday we lounged around the room after the breakfast.  I have noticed that none of the motels we use still have the waffle maker in the breakfast offerings.  The kitchen maid here said they were too hard to clean.  They were good but I understand how messy they were.  I talked with Simon for about 20 minutes because he had a tooth pulled yesterday and couldn’t meet us for lunch as usual.  He seems to be doing well, however, and this was one of his less serious illnesses.  We went to Trahan’s house to pick up some pecans from their yard.  He wants to get rid of them and gave them to us.  He had a neat pecan picker that picked the nuts in the shell from the ground without having to bend over so much.  We went to a restaurant so Evelyn could have another bowl of gumbo but she got crawfish bisque instead.  We went to the Best Stop to get some boudin and crawfish.  We took it to the hotel and put the cold packs we had bought into the motel freezer.  We drove to one of our favorite restaurants, Riverside Inn.  We shared a tilapia stuffed with crab meat.  We returned to Randol’s for more dancing.  We will leave for the Wurstfest tomorrow morning.
