We filled up with gas after leaving the RV Park and got on I-10 heading west about 9:30 am. It was a little breezy but not too bad. What was bad was the traffic. It was heavy all the way with trucks, tailgating vehicles, old people out for a Sunday drive and the usual complement of high speed "weavers" not using turn signals and ignoring speed limits. Perhaps it is considered a sign of weakness to use them. After all, NASCAR doesn't need turn signals and they can go as fast as they want to win the race.
We arrived at our stop for the next two nights, the Bay Bayou Wilderness Resort about 1:45 pm. We have stayed here several times in the past and it is a good place for overnight stops along the way either east or west. We are going out for dinner tonight at our favorite Cajun restaurant in Lafayette, Prejeans.
We have a reservation for a swamp tour tomorrow in the bayou near Beaux Bridge, a town a short way from here. We have taken the same tour several years ago and are looking forward to a return visit. That will be the highlight of the day with other activities TBD depending on time and energy.
Postscript:
We had a great, calorie laden meal for dinner at Prejeans tonight: crawfish enchalada, seafood gumbo/rice, a crabcake with andouille sauce, hush puppies and maque choux (Cajun corn dish) washed down with a local beer, Abita Amber (Judy had lemonade). There was also a local band playing Cajun music. We will sleep with a heavy stomach, but it sure was good.
