RV Trip Favorite Photos #51-55

Jim says:

While Mary and I are taking care of business here at her home…there is little “new stuff” to Blog about daily. So I’ve decided to share with you some of my favorite photos from our recent 298 day, 16,000+ mile RV trip around the United States.

Since scenery and people snapshot-type photos require little special photography skills…and being limited by the abilities of my digital camera…I none the less took some photos that I really liked. They are presented in no special order of favoritism.

Today’s photos were taken March 4, 2010 at the Tabasco Factory on Avery Island at New Iberia, Louisiana…

In other news…

80 degrees yesterday. We are now bug-less. Despite washing the motorhome two days ago we still had the sun-baked-on reside of a couple of hundred bug-bodies. About two hours with the bug removal juice took care of them. Also serviced our batteries yesterday.

Did you realize that today is 10/10/10?

Some Like It Hot!

and it’s all because of something called Tabasco.! That’s where Mary and I went yesterday…to the Tabasco Factory on the 2,200 acre Avery Island located about 10 miles from New Iberia, Louisiana.

To get onto the “island,” we paid $1 which was collected by a man in a tollbooth who used a stick with a clothes pin attached to reach for the money.

Next we went to the Town of Delcambre, home of one of Louisiana’s Shrimp Fishing Fleet. Shrimp season is closed right now, so no shrimping activities are currently in operation. We’re told this time of year, most shrimp boat owners are busy doing repairs and maintenance to their boats.

After a full day of touristing…we went to The Boiling Pot for a nice seafood meal. I had the grilled shrimp plate and Mary had the boiled Crawfish.

As I’ve said a few times in the past…It’s a lousy job, but somebody’s got to do it!
