Saturday we went on a road trip to Mamou Louisiana. Fred's Lounge to be exact. The Cajun Capital of the World....at least that's what is written on the side of the building. Every Saturday morning from 8-1 they broadcast a live radio show from Fred's. A Cajun/zydeco band takes up most of the floor space and the rest of the bar is packed with locals and people from all over the US and even other countries. Tante Sue (Aunt Sue) runs the place and greets you at the door, or in our case in the parking lot. She is in her 70s and has a leather holster strapped to her leg to hold her bottle of "Hot Damn", a cinnamon flavored drink. The music is loud, foot stomping and the crowd kept growing. Another bit of Louisiana. Oh, I had a po-boy on this trip too. Drive thru daiquiris, fried shrimp on a bun, live zydeco music...Good times.
