Louisiana Mansion
On the beach!

Lafayette LA:  The day started out dark and rainy.  We took Rte 90 after leaving Biloxi and drove along the beach - a very unusual area. It was very slow going through all the traffic in New Orleans, but we finally got to Rte 90 on the other side of the city and took the big loop up to Lafayette. The weather also cleared up after we left New Orleans.

Tonight we ate dinner at Randol's (after an 11 year wait between visits).  The Cajun band played until 9:30 P.M.  There were also 3 or 4 bus loads of teenagers in Lafayette for the "Beta" Conference (link) and they dominated the dance floor until the management stepped in!!  We danced waltzes and two steps on and off during dinner - had a great time!! The motel is full of kids also - hope we can get some sleep tonight.....
