Well I'd like to say "The next time I'm over there I'll take you up on that offer." Then again I'm sure would rather there not be a reason for me to make another trip to Lafayette in the near future.
I will say that all the folks we ran across were very hospitable and couldn't have been any nicer.
In Berwick we had based at a car dealership as the eyewall came through and a gentleman that had stayed behind to keep watch over the place kept offering us use of the restroom, drinks or just somewhere to come into and dry off.
While in Morgan city for the eye which was a good hour or so... We spent the time standing on top of the levee and as the locals came out to survey the damage, there were a few that came up top and engaged us in conversation. Sitting on top of the levee in Morgan City while in the eye of Gustav, talking about all the previous hurricanes that effected the town, including Hilda and Andrew made it that much more special of a experience.
Solid folks across the whole area! And boy a homemade Cajun meal would have topped it off! Breakfast bars and such just doesn't cut it.
