We left Galveston in heavy fog...
and arrived 4 hours later at Poche’s Fish and Camp. We had a waterfront site...
with a great view out the rear window.
When we came and left the campground we were greeted by turtles and an egret...
and when we explored Breaux Bridge, we encountered plenty of crawfish.
(It's the crawfish capital of the world. )
The highlight of our stay was a swamp tour. Cajun Country Tours showed us alligators, ibis, egrets, herons, cormorants, anhingas, nutria, turtles, cardinals and snakes, and taught us about cypress and tupolo trees and the swamp in general.
Easy to see alligator
Not quite as easy to see alligator
Not at all easy to see alligator

The only snake we saw--a water moccasin
Ibis in a tree
An anhinga drying its wings
Flocks of birds were everywhere and the sunset was lovely.
