We
heard that the Louisiana
coast in this area isn’t one that people go to in order to enjoy sunbathing or
walk the beaches. Nonetheless, we were interested in taking a drive to see what
it was like. Abbeville is not far from the coast ~ about 15 miles, so we took a
leisurely drive down 82S to 333 towards Intercoastal City.
We
passed a few rice farms. Here’s some interesting information about rice farms
down here – after rice is harvested (up to three times a season), the farmers
flood the fields and the crawfish (which bury themselves in the rice fields
when a rice crop) come to the surface, eat whatever rice remains, and then are
harvested as a second crop.
We also passed over a few bayous, and saw many cargo ships moving oil.
Another
interesting thing we see here are a majority of the homes on pilings or stilts,
to protect from what we can only assume are frequents floods. Some are hirer
than others, depending on how close to a bayou.
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
