Cajun Chris;
My wife I spent a lovely vacation back in the 1990's, don't recall exact year now, in Lafayette LA. Sure enjoyed chowing down on that "Crawdad" etoufee & alligator tail. Went down to Avery Island & toured the Tabasco plant & also saw the Egrets nesting there. Took a nice boat tour of the big swamp north of Lafayette, can't recall how to spell it now, but semi remember how to pronounce it. We have a town here in East TN with the same spelling as Lafayette but folks there call it La-Fay'-ette rather than Laf' ay-ette. Don't know if I got those accents exactly right, but anyway it's pronounced totally different, sorta like folks in Southern IL call Cai'ro, Karo. Would love to make it down again, but just don't travel much anymore.
