Overnight we were woken up by thunderstorm. The rain was heavy and washed to pollen out of the air.
Before starting our last day of touring we took time to dry the car off and get gas. We then met up with the group for breakfast at Mel's diner.
We headed to Vermillionville, the reproduction of Acadian Village. We spent the morning casually strolling through the buildings. Barrett took off in a hurry when we arrived to find the accordion he was hearing.
The highlight of the village was the s ferry across the bogg. Darin and David gave several rides across.
Lunch was at the event center on the grounds. This place had the spiciest food so far. That made it much easier to not over eat.
We drove .2 miles to the Jean Lafitte Acadian Cultural Center and walked through the artifact display. We sat through a 30 minute movie about the hard lives of the Acadian people.
We left there and headed to Borden's Ice cream for a late snack.
A short break at the hotel was welcome before closing banquet.
This was a fun tour and so many new friends were made. We are looking forward to the next one!
