Laurel Valley Village, Thibodaux

Traveling on the backroads offered us a unique opportunity to meet real people and to experience true local culture. Even though it was a national holiday and the local museum was closed, a photographer we met in the fields, (D.Foret), offered to unlock the museum and provided us a glimpse of local history. We bought syrup, cane vinegar, and photographs at the store. Such a wonderful feeling to have met such a loving and caring person on the side of the road!!!
