Day 43: Cajun Country!

Today we rode through Louisiana backwoods and rice fields  (highways 26 and 104) from DeRidder to the little town of Mamou, the home of the famous "Fred's Place".  Fred's is a honkeytonk that is only open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (yes, 8 am in the morning to just a couple of hours after noon).  If you check on TripAdvisor, you'll see rave reviews about the place.  However, we didn't arrive in Mamou until 4 p.m. so we missed it, darn!

BUT...when we arrived at our lodging for the night, the Hotel Cazan, it was Rick's dream come true -- a hotel over a bar!!  And tonight is their Halloween party night!  People are coming from all over to this place for the party -- should be fun, which is why I'm blogging early tonight!
