We have enjoyed a variety of activities in our month long stay in Abbeville. We enjoyed the Erath Museum depicting Cajun Life. A tour of downtown Abbeville by the Red Hats. Live music at Savoy's, Fred's Lounge, Touchet's, and Mulate's, and Cafe des Amis. We've had a guided tour at the Longfellw-Evangeline State Historic Site. Taken pictures of the Statue of Evangeline. Enjoyed learning about the sugar industry in Jeanerette and the rice growing in New Iberia at the Konriko Company Store. Vermillionville in Lafayette is a Cajun and Creole folklife park depicting the Acadiana area from 1765-1890. Next door we also learned more about the Acadians at the Jean Lafitte Acadian Cultural Center. It was a fun packed month, we toured these places in between Mardi Gras parties. I'm sure I left something out, but oh it's just a blur......fun fun fun.
