Avery Island

Avery Island was fun. They have a small museum followed by a walking tour that takes you through the admittedly simple process and ingredients, but then a zillion variations on that theme in the gift shop.

Also part of the island is what they called the Jungle Gardens. This was a nice walk through what had once been a very expensive 170 acre garden for the owners. There was a Buddha statue that was either a couple hundred or a thousand years old, depending on who you believed. It was inside the glass walled pagoda behind Heather.

We came up the channel seen below. We had several feet of water under the keel almost all the time until we got close to the dock.

Tomorrow we head to Morgan City, even though we are too late for the annual Shrimp and Petroleum Festival.
