Michelle, we used to fly into Houma every October, then drive to Chauvin to fish. There was a "festival" at the Catholic church called "Lagniappe on the Bayou" that was one of the most wonderful experiences! We timed our fishing trips around that weekend in October, and went several times. Then the Diocese stopped the festival, and we never went back.

Sending all kinds of dry thoughts to your family there! I remember going there right after a hurricane had been closeby, and seeing the houses that had been washed onto the highway, and then moved off to the side of the road.
