4/17/2017 West Louisiana - Caribbean Ice Company

From: casarollnotes.blogspot.com

Caribbean Ice Company
New Iberia, Louisiana

Tim and I went for ice cream.... stayed for the food.
‘Scrap’ Burgers with Caribbean Spice is the best.
Met the owners: Skip and Pamela Farris Shensky skipir10yahoo.com. We spent hours talking about their history and the business they have created with their, now grown, children for over 20 years. Their menu is designed with Weekly (nearly daily) Specials for the community.

Heirloom Tomatoes are grown here at the Restaurant. Delicious on their burgers!!

Their two sons are now chefs. Elizabeth, their daughter has schooled at a pastry school in New York. Tim and I now plan a visit with her in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Souvenir given us: Caribbean Ice Company "Caribbean Spice". Yes, they make it there!

4/16/2017 The Bayou: A Day in the Travels of CasaRoll

Our address, while on the road, reminds me of our motto from our
CCYC Commodore T-shirts:

"Ya Had To Be There".

Along Bayou Teche: From West Louisiana to New Orleans.

Tim and I (and Woodstock, the kitty cat) took our last glance of the New Iberia RV Resort in our rear view mirror and headed onto the back road called the Old Spanish Trail Highway for a quick
(2 hours) travel to our next place to abide: Tiger Oaks Park in Gibson, a community in the Terrebonne Parish, with just one Louisiana zip code: 70356.

The houses along the Atchafalaya River where it joins to the Bijou are apparently serving the needs of those that live along the banks.

No matter to the square footage of the house, the South holds true to its identity with its massive green lawns and oak trees rooted from those long-ago fervent times.

Our front yard while in Western Louisiana! Green grasses everywhere are groomed and mowed!!
