Lots of today was spent sitting in the RV in traffic, driving from New Orleans to Breaux Bridge (6 miles from Lafayette). A friendly American man staying the the French Quarter RV park suggested to Martin that we make our way to Pochés RV fish-n-park. And he also insisted that we eat at the Pochés Market & Restaurant and get the crawfish étouffée and the chicken and sausage gumbo. So guess what? That’s what we did, and it’s delightful. We parked up next to one of 5 small lakes, and we arrived just as the sun was going down.

Then we headed out for dinner and tried everything they had on the menu: crawfish étouffée, fried shrimp, crumbed catfish, chicken and sausage gumbo (which was MUCH nicer than the seafood one we tried in New Orleans), and sides of coleslaw, potato salad mash, and fries. It was actually pretty good. So much fried food though! I’m definitely going to cook up some veggies for our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night.
