Exploring

Hi All,

Today we visited Avery Island and Spanish Lake, looking for birds and Tabasco sauce!

Avery Island is the home of the Jungle Gardens 

Camellias in bloom


More camellias 

Pagoda housing the 900 year old Budda

Statue looted from a Chinese temple, sent to New York for sale then purchased and given to Edward Avery McIlhenny as a gift.

Edmund McIlhenny invented Tabasco Sauce in 1865.

They now fill up to 700,000 bottles a day, all here on Avery Island

Spanish Lake offered hundreds of cormorants and a beautiful sunset.

Tomorrow we drive to Florida on the worst stretch of interstate highway on the country (I-10 in Louisiana).

Love,
