4/12 Mon 65 miles
Lafayette, LA - St. Francisville, LA
On tv this morning ,the local forecaster predicted today’s weather to be ”spectacular”. He was spot on. Beautiful day, beautiful ride . More magnificent live oaks along mostly quiet country roads.On one busy road, there was a 3.5 mile Morganza Spillway bridge with no shoulder and fast traffic. The van met us before the bridge for an escort across. Stopped in tiny Morganza at “Not Your Mama’s Cafe” for a crawfish poboy and Cajun fries- delicious fuel for the afternoon. If you are ever in Southern LA this is a spot not to be missed. After lunch rode 10+ miles with a huge levee on our left , holding back the Mississippi River. And then...the big adventure of the afternoon, crossing the Mississippi by ferry into St.Francisville.
But the real fun started as we departed the ferry to meet Jolene with her parasol and Judy with an ice bucket of champagne. My dear friends had flown to NOLA the previous day and came to spend our rest day with me.
So much fun! So wonderful that Jolene and Judy able to join you! And now with the weather! Wish I was there xoxoxo
