It’s another Saturday morning in Louisiana and we woke early to get in line at Café des Amis in Breaux Bridge. This is the place to be if you want breakfast with a twist—an awesome live Zydeco band!! 
The place just rocks and you can’t help but get up and move,
and we were no exception. 
Young & old come together to enjoy authentic Cajun music, eat breakfast and dance the morning away. The place was packed with customers eating, couples two-stepping on the dance floor,
like Jim & Diane, and others standing in the aisles swaying to the music as they waited for tables. It really is the place to let the good times roll.Driving home from Café des Amis, Diane & I decided we wanted to go to an Arts & Craft show in New Iberia. The backdrop for the show was the Shadows-on-the-Teche which is a historical southern plantation
surrounded by beautiful gardens on Bayou Teche. 
The grounds are lovely and feature many flowering shrubs such as camellias, wisteria, magnolia trees, as well as huge live oaks festooned with Spanish moss.This day only got longer & later, because after only a short nap it was off to Touchet’s (2 checks)
Bar & Jam Session at 4:30 pm in Abbeville. More Cajun music,
more dancing 
and best of all they feed you—for free. 
Now how good is that? This is such a fun bar, more a community meeting place than a bar, but either way we all had fun listening and dancing to the music. Not to mention dinner on the house scored a big hit with us as well. This was a great day, but we were all ready to get back home to our rigs to rest—gee old people can only party for so long…….
