Fat Tuesday...end of Mardi Gras



Rode 65.2 miles today through lots of rice paddies, into Oberlin, in the 50s with some head winds. Got delayed in Mamou when the highway was closed for a block party, then went on a mini detour, but had to wait for part of the Mardi Gras parade of people on horseback to go by. We didn't mind since they were all admiring our VW.









Kathleen & Doris wore beads for Fat Tuesday, but Kathleen got lots more thrown at her during the parade & she & Bob found an inflatable figure to pose with.







Drove to Kinder & had Cajun food, in the heart of the Cajun part of Louisiana & found a week day special at the Coushatta Reservation Lodge down the road from the Main Casino, so got showers & to watch Olympics on TV.
