Last night the local folks from Merryville hosted a dinner for us at the local museum. (Merryville Historical Society & Museum, PO Box 637, Merryville, LA 70653 -- Call Linda if you want to visit at 337_825-0101.)
Frank asked if there was a barber around and they produced Dorothy, a retired stylist who gave about six of us very good trims! The local police chief (sporting a pony tail "I make the rules around here") met up with Jerry, our retired California patrolman for a picture with cowboy hats. We have never encountered a friendlier community. Today they are preparing a breakfast of bisquits and gravy for us and a bbq dinner! Several of our folks spent some time at the local retirement home talking about our trip. It will be a relaxing day in the bayou.
This is one of the dishes we were served last night:
