Wow! Did we have fun in New Iberia, LA. Don't know where it is?? Me neither until this weekend. Cajun food, sugar cane fields, Avery Island (the birthplace of Tobasco sauce), casinos on the swamp, and fabulous company.
From the unique feel of the South Louisiana marshes and bayous to the nature preserve inhabited by indigenous plants and animals, Avery Island, Louisiana is a beautiful place to visit.
Touring the visitor center and the pepper sauce factory is just one part of the Avery Island experience. In addition to seeing how they age TABASCO® Sauce in white oak barrels and ship it all over the world, you can visit Avery Island's 250-acre Jungle Gardens and see, in season, a variety of azaleas, camellias and bamboo. You might even spy some alligators, deer, and raccoons that live in the hills and marshes around the gardens. We didn't, hoever, we just saw people crabbing. And then there are thousands of snowy egrets who nest on the island each spring on specially-built, pier-like structures in a pond nicknamed “Bird City”. You can stroll the gardens along a path covered by gnarled oaks laced with Spanish moss, and stand at the shrine that houses a centuries old have stood.
When you’re ready to see how TABASCO® Sauce is made, you can take the factory tour. There's a short film on TABASCO® history and a guided tour of our bottling and packaging operations. You can also spend time in the TABASCO Country Store®, and check out a wide array of products and souvenires wher centuries old have stood.
We went to visit friends and attend the Troy LSU game. Troy should have won. I was so heartbroken I cried silent tears. They had them 24 -3 at half time, first drive after halftime Troy scored again and from there...... voodoo I guess. Whatever the score, Troy gave them all they wanted and more. The video is of our friends from Acadiana. It was a wonderful weekend to be treasured for many years to come. Enjoy the picturrs! We Love you Sharon, Ross and Lauren
