We had a great time staying at Thomas' place. We enjoyed the flavor of the neighborhood. The house was clean, cold and very relaxing especially after exploring Nola. The highlights were the cemeteries, the food, (place called Cajun Seafood was great and close by), and the Barataria Preserve. Up close with marsh/swamp creatures including spiders, lizards, frogs, bugs, squirrels, deer, muskrat, gators, and snakes. The best part is it was free. Also as a warning- Do not touch the fuzzy caterpillars. Painful stings can result. We will for sure be back to Nola and Thomas' place to explore more.
