Lafayette January 30

Found this great restaurant.



Nothing fancy. But really authentic, stick to your ribs Cajun food. I had Crayfish Etouffee and Dave had Suffocated Rabbit. (Read smothered).


And by the way we moved to higher ground .
Also we are the last one standing!

A bit of history. The Cajuns are descendants of the Arcadians who were french speaking Canadians. They were deported from Nova Scotia to Louisiana by the British. Lafayette is the center of Acadiana in Louisiana. Acadians eventually became known as Cajuns.

Port Hardy/Port McNeil/Alert Bay. September 24, 2024

This is the only picture I took of Port McNeil. It's much like Port Hardy.  The big difference I noticed is that Port Hardy has a Save-on-Foods and Port McNeil has an IGA. This is where we caught the ferry over to Alert Bay. You only pay one way. Foot passengers pay $7.60 except seniors who pay $0. I pays to get old! This is the first sign you see when getting off the ferry. This is the second one. Our first stop was at the visitor centre.

It is still 🔥🌞🌞🔥 Every morning at 8:30 this playground fills up with noisy children. It's our walk up call. What a joyful noise to wake up to. This picture is from our front window. The breakfast restaurant is right under the green. Our room has a 'balcony' which translate to sliding balcony doors with a waist high plexiglass barrier so you can't leave the room. Our day was spent at the resort. Lots of relaxing in the shade 😎, eating 🍝, and happy hours 🍷🍸🍹🍺.            Loving all inclusive! Dave found this great 3-D wall muriel that I had not noticed.  A close up. Last day was most relaxing!                          🎇 🎇 🎇
