New Iberia

<-- Ollie and the Tabasco Factory. Kids should not swim in the river of tabasco sauce.

Main Street, New Iberia -->

We kept driving through the wetlands to New Iberia, LA. Another nice historic town, and the home of Tabasco sauce. All bottles come from the one factory on Avery Island. They make 700,000 bottles per day, and export to 110 countries.


You know travelling with an 8 month old can be tough. We fed him some stone fruit, and at the Shadows-on-the-Teche mansion tour, he let fly quite a bit of avocado poo on the visitors centre carpet. No kidding, it was bright emerald green, and I had no idea until my shorts were coated, and there was an extra shadow on the carpet at the Shadows, no matter how much scrubbing we did.

<-- Shadows-on-the-Teche, New Iberia, LA. Beautiful plantation home, and an interesting tour. Most of the furniture is original. It is one of 25 odd National Trust buildings.
