We have definitely entered a subtropical world, that is a total departure from the desert Southwest of the earlier weeks of our Tour: flat roads, lots of roadkill, snakes, bugs, above ground crypts, heavy morning dews.
Yesterday's hightlight was our visit to Fred's Lounge in Mamou. Mamou claims to be the "Cajun music capital of the world", and there is a live music broadcast each Saturday from Fred's.
Today we crossed the Achafalaya swamp on the "8 mile bridge" with police escort. The bridge had no shoulder, and the trip would have been very scary without the escort that Bubba arranged. After we crossed the swamp, stopped at the Buckhorn Cafe for a catfish po boy (huge!).
