Actually I have filled up all my writing space this month with this delightful area of America - Terrebonne / Lafourche parishes in Louisiana, and still need twice the space to introduce you to this Cajun world.
If riding airboats is not enough for you, take a flight with

This is an Editor's Choice experience. I personally took the flight to observe the Louisiana Wetlands problems renound singer/musician Tab Benoit from this area has brought national focus to (see other articles). I can highly recommend the trip.
To the left below not the dead trees due to salt water invasion into the wetlands.
