Along The Way: Don't Rain on my Parade

You could see the loaming rain in the distance as we left the hotel. This was not going to stop our fun.

We drove quite a few miles past many of the places we had been. We saw the frogs in Rayne, the Rice Theater in Crowel and the crawfish farms that covered the plains, all on the way to Jennings.

Our first stop was on main street. The street was blocked for us. This was made for great photos.

We started at the Ziegler Art Museam where several Louisiana artists were featured that included James Audubon, Elton Louviere. After viewing the works of art we went across the street to an antique store. I found some interesting things but did not bring any home with me.

We then walked back to the other end of the street to see the W. H. Tupper Merchandise Museum. This housed to entire inventory of the store at its closing in 1949.

We did walk down to the end of the street to check out the bakery.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Mike's Seafood provided a buffet lunch that was very good.

The afternoon took us to Gator Chateau at Oil and Gas Park. We all took turns holding a year old alligator.

From this stop we caravaned over to the SW Louisiana Veterans Home.

It was beginning to rain quite a bit. We didn't see many Vets but we sure hope they saw us.

We just followed the car in front of us all the way back to the hotel. We arrived a little early so we rested before the group met for pizza dinner. David and Janet, who rode with David and Joyce joined us for dinner.
