This morning I left for Avery Island home of Tabasco Sauce. On the way I drove past miles of sugar cane. Don't know if it's for sugar or ethanol. Got to the plant; it was not running. There really wasn't that much to see, it was pretty small. One room with a giant bottle of Tabasco, a movie room, the plant and then a small display room.
The creator of the sauce, Edward McIlhenny was a collector and bird lover. He created a huge sanctuary for egrets which were near to extinction. He gathered many exotic plants, trees & flowers. Plus a 1,000 year old Buddha sitting on a lotus flower! Saw a couple of gators in the ponds but NO birds! There are 20,000 in the Spring. This big park is now called Jungle Island.
I left and headed for Bon Creole Seafood in New Iberia, a place I saw on Google Maps which got good reviews. Sure looks like a dive from outside. I ordered a 1/2 Crawfish Po Boy sandwich, seafood gumbo and a Miller Lite. It came with some potato salad and rice. The sandwich was HUGE but I managed to eat everything. Probably not real healthy but it tasted good!
I left for the campground and then things got nasty...
