While in New Orleans I had arranged to meet up with a new group of single RVers called the WINS (Wandering Individuals Network) who were staying at another campground north of Lake Pontchartrain. They had been highly recommended to me by Robert and Tiziana Ruff. Found out about a large group who will be traveling together in their individual rigs for 3-4 months this summer traveling through Colorado and Utah. Lots of research goes into planning one of these caravans, including an extensive itinerary of the historical and interesting sights we'll see along the route, RV parking reservations are made in advance, no real long drives, campfires, most all have kayaks (guess I see one in my future soon!!), lots of bicycles too, potluck dinners, fun, laughs, and plenty of company. I do hope to join them if possible!!!
After Claudia left, my new WIN friends invited me to join them bright and early Saturday morning (7:00am) in Breaux Bridge, LA at the Cafe des Amis for a Zydeco omelet and Zydeco music!! This is a very old eatery I had never even heard of, and I was raised here!

I invited the group to a Cajun boucherie (pig butchering and cooking) being held that afternoon in the Cajun Palms RV Park where I was staying. Had lots of fun, plus food was delicious and free!!

| Pork was cooked all day long, tender and very tasty! |

| Making cracklings! In french they're called "Gratons"!! |
 |
| Listening to the great band, waiting to line up to eat! |

| Could this be the largest "Graton" in history? Quick, call Guinness!! |

| A fun time was had by all. |
