There's No Place Like Home: Lafayette, Louisiana

The Catherdral of Saint John The Evangelist.  The first church in Lafayette Parish was "l'Eligise St. Jean du Vermillion" built on a gift of land donated by Jean Mouton in 1821. In 1824 he donated land for a court house and founded Vermillionville, which is now Lafayette.

See where the sign says "Crawfish & Spinich Boat" ....maaaaaaan! It was so good. Imagine the flavors of a cream based crawfish ettoufee (blanc sauce) with spinich served over a bread bowl.  It was an instant 10 pounds and at least 3 hours of extra cardio, but very much worth it. Yummy!

I was stalking her shrimp po-boy, but had no room left after "The Boat" mentioned above. :(

Artists from around the world come to Lafayette and exhibit their creations.  This exhibit was stunning and life-like.  Crowds of people stood at the booth and looked on in astonishment and appreciation.
