Right before leaving Fairhope, AL where we had spent part of January, February and March our friend Margaret Bushon arrived for a short visit. Our friends Dan and Rita Desmond drove over from Panama City, FL to join us also. It was great to have all of us together for a few days.
Once we left Alabama we headed west for Lake Charles, LA. but stopped for a couple of nights in Lafayette, LA. Margaret and her daughter-in-law, Gerri (sorry if the spelling is incorrect) were taking in the sights and we had never spent any time there. We were able to tour the Tabasco factory which was very interesting. The factory is located on Avery Island. They also have gardens that were amazing. They have everything from alligators to a huge Buddah.
The factory was so interesting. They age the pepper “mash” in oak barrels that have been used and discarded by the Jack Daniels brewing company. They use them for years but when they can no longer use them they chop them up into charcoal…nothing goes to waste.
Enough for now but I will post more tomorrow…I am playing catch up as you can tell.
Moving on.
