- 2/15/17. Arrived at Cajun Palms Rv Resort
2/16/17 Got groceries and relaxed outside a lot. Chatted with some of our neighbors who were very friendly. They told us we are on the “quiet” side of the park. Apparently, someone (drunk?) drove their golf cart into the lake.
2/17/17 Drove down to New Iberia because we could. Loved seeing the azaleas and big oak trees along the way. Ate at Pizza Village – one of our favorite places to go!
2/22/17 Visited Arcadian Village – a replica of how Cajuns lived in the 1860s
Later, we went to Prejean’s and split one of their big plates. We also shared some fried green tomatoes covered my a creamy shrimp sauce. (Wonderful)
2/24/17 This is Marti Gras weekend! Our RV park is expecting 200 rigs in today. We can’t leave the RV today because of the line of RVs coming in! That’s a lot of humanity! The coming pics are of the excitement at our park….like a decorated golf cart parade where they throw beads, they are bring in bands to play, several movie nights. Let the party begin!
2/24/17. What a difference a day makes! This morning we lived in a sleepy community of RVs. This evening we are surrounded on every side by loud music, a mass of humanity in fiberglass, and a plethora of golf carts. Deb is wanting one but there’s no way to make that happen. And this, they say, is the quiet side. More to come on this developing story.
We watched the golf cart parade and got lots of beads (OnFacebook).
The end result: BEADS (and a toy gator)
After
After the parade some nice ppl brought us some crawfish (and showed us how to eat them).
After the parade (and a brief nap) we went over to the club for a little dancing.
2/27/2017. Took a short trip to the dollar General and found this:
Not impressive?

Widow Lane….wait for it…

2/27/17. We were just informed my Aunt Gloria passed away last Friday at the age of 97. My prayers go out to the family and friends. She was quite a lady.
3/1/17. It’s been two weeks since we arrived at the Cajun Palms. This weekend they’re having a cracklings and jambalaya cook off. Today, we went to Lake Fausse Point state park… everything was closed! Later, we ate st Pat’s (see my review) with mixed results.
