.may have the chance to get out and explore a little on my own...looking for some interesting local flavor

If you got a nice / warm / blue sky day with a spare 3 hours to explore then go out to Grosse Tete and drive down LA77 south to Plaquemine. Very interesting. Just don't get shot.

From there could take the ferry across to the east side of the Mississippi River or go down to Donaldsonville and cross on the bridge then drive back to BR up the River Road. Could find some good local shack eats along that route. About 60 miles down, 45 miles back. As for BR food, we usually stay in Lafayette and go to Prejeans.

You found the right place if the Chef looks like this -or- if the Chef is serving this
this is place in Vacherie next to Laura Plantation where I took Ted & Heather

Well I don't know about the eating places very much because I am from about 65 miles south (New Orleans) but I might be there at the basketball tournament.

I am an officer in the Civil Air Patrol (Auxiliary of the Air force) and we may have a couple of our cadets on the color guard for the event. Not sure about it yet but if I do go I will send you a PM and maybe we can meet.

That would be awesome...i will make a point to be there...I did find a local restaurant just 5 miles from the Deaf School...its called Sammy's Grill...They offer Cajun style food among other things...so that looks like my best bet...kinda wish i could have my bike there but its a long trip...but we'll be on a chartered bus...I will have my phone on...you can text me at 919 eight one zero seven seven one four...
