Laissez les bons temps rouler! Look it up.  I spent the day in Lafayette (about an hour from my grandparents home) because I always knew it was the heart of Cajun country. It has an amazing history and incredible food.  My mom and I went to visit one of her friends and I requested that we head downtown so I could check out the “main street” and really the part of town that maintained some of the old architecture.  It’s a bit strip mall-ish in some areas but I think I got some good shots of the good stuff. If you look closely, you’ll see some New Orleans inspired architecture and plantation style mansions!
