Out of clean socks and with access to the park’s free GE font load washer and dryers, this morning was time. Visited with campground folk at the ‘washateria’ which what they call laundromats down here.
It's still a little strange having manual gates across the dike. Here's a picture of one half of one near the campground.
Early afternoon (when people would be around as it was rumored to be a sketchy area) went to find the famous St. Louis Cemetery No.1. It was very interesting and a little eerie but safe enough. I learned how they re-used or added additional remains to tombs. One estimate is that as many as 100,000 people have been entombed in that one block area! Wandered down to Café du Monde for their special powdered sugar covered beignets.
Feeling the need to get some seafood, I found a small owner operated place called Westwego Seafood. They had boiled crawfish on special so I asked some locals how to go about eating such a thing. Not difficult but can be messy. I got a pound and sat down at the counter with work-traveler named Jesica from Georgia who was also enjoying crawfish for the first time.
