Because we wanted to do something different yet still get folks together to have fun, we elected to go to Cajun pride Swamp Tours for a day of play with alligators, yay!Eighteen people got up early on a Sunday morning and drove out to LaPlace for a 9:30 boat departure. The weather was marvelous — summer with a threat of cool rain. For the most part, we had beautiful weather . The rain didn’t hit until the end of the tour but when it did rain, it rained a lot. Sheets of it. But heh, it was all okay.
The alligators, like any living creature, have territories and favorite areas. When the boat passes, they follow it in hopes of a free meal of raw chicken or big and fluffy marshmallows.
We took lots of pictures but I pared them down to these few. It was a tough job but I had to do it.
As the saying goes,“Be a tourist in your own city.” If you haven’t ever done a swamp tour, you truly do not know what you are missing. Take a look at how the alligators follow the boat and how they literally jump up to retrieve the proffered reward.
Thanks Cajun Swamp Tours — we had a simply marvelous time.
