We're off again in the morning after a short three day stay at the Red Shoe RV Park at Coushatta Casino. (www.coushattacasinoresort.com) A special thanks to friends Tracy and Judy for the tip about this place. A well maintained park, great casino and the price is right! So how was our luck?Well we didn't lose much money for a change. So I think that means we're winners ... almost.
In case you're interested ... Red Shoe was the Coushatta tribe leader back in the late 1800's and established a political and social system that is still governing today's nation.
Actually we visited two other casinos in nearby Lake Charles, about 30 miles south. Isle of Capri and La'Auberge. The later is the newest in the area and really nice as well. Lake Charles is an interesting port town with shipping and oil commerce in abundance. Downtown is a being remade into a trendy location with a number of neat shops and places to eat. On west bound I10 just before the tall bridge at Lake Charles, we stopped in at Steamboat Bill's (www.steamboatbills.com). One of two locations, this roadside eatery is a fried seafood lovers delight. The catfish (I know catfish ain't seafood but you get the idea) was superb but the deep fried boudin (pronounced 'boo dan') balls were fantastic! ... Best we've ever had. What you say? You don't know what boudin balls are? Stop by Steamboat Bill's and discover them yourself. Actually you can find these little jewels throughout the South but be prepared to find that all recipes are different but generally ... very tasty.
Weather has been a little cool but sunny. We expect the same tomorrow as we'll make a one night stop over at Hollywood Casino in Bay St Louis MS then on to Gulf Shores AL for maybe a month.
Still livin'' the dream ... now in Cajun country.
Phil
