May 1,2010 Abbeyville,La.

We left Livingston on April 30th and drove 220 miles to Abbeyville,La. and arrived at Betty's RV. When we got there we were welcomed by Betty. We heard a lot about Betty and her Rv park from lots of escapees and we just had to stop there. There is a happy hour every day at 4:30 and everyone in the park comes. On Saturday we into town to see some of the sights of the town. We stopped by the Catholic Cemetery and the St. MaryMagdalen Catholic Church. The cemetery dates back to1843. You can see all the graves are raised because of the high water.

Abbeville is known as the most Cajun city. We were getting hungry and heard about Suire's grocery and restaurent and decided to go there for lunch. This is just a old country store and is very busy at lunch.The food is great and had the best catfish poboy I ever tasted. Sam had the shrimp and I had the catfish.The lady behind the counter said she was new,she'd been there for 32 years.

We kept going by these ponds that had all these red and white tops ontop of the water and finally decided it must be crawdad pots.Sure enough we saw a man out there harvesting his crawdads.

When we got back to town it was time to go to Touchet's,better known as 2 checks. Every other Saturday they have Cajun music and everyone is out dancing and having a good time. Just love that music.

Here's Sam,Dick and Linda having a good time.
That's it for today,see what happens tomorrow.
