Trails & Byways through the Zydeco Cajun Prairie

Charlie is a big fan of Cajun Zydeco music, so we traveled through the Zydeco Cajun Prairie to see the hometowns of Geno Delafose, Steve Riley, Clifton Chenier, Queen Ida and Boozoo Chavis, among others in Louisiana northwest of Lafayette. The area is mostly rice farms and ranches.

We ate at a Cajun restaurant for dinner, Randol’s, in Lafayette, where Charlie danced with Giselle, a woman with whom he danced when we went to Southern California Cajun Zydeco dances in Pasadena many years ago. She moved from L.A. to Lafayette several years ago. Both were surprised to see each other in Lafayette!
