That Cajun is speaking Spanish!

Probably because his name is Jose and he is from Guadalajara 

But what a surprise for me when I looked under the crawfish buggy and there was Jose in all his glory

Asked him if he spoke English and he said not a lick

We spent the next 15 minute discussing the finer points of commercial craw fishing, the price of crossing the border and the upcoming US. Presidential election

In Spanish not Acadian 

All of this in a flooded rice field outside Crowley Louisiana 

Here are crawfish traps in the flooded rice fields

We had a great po boy at Mickeys in

Of all things we got to the end of the road in Johnsons Bayou Louisiana  And found of all thInge a car ferry to take us across the river. Not as big as the ferries back at home in hatteras but nice boys running it and a quick pleasant ride
