53 (D-9) Breaux Bridge, Henderson / bayous again / Quiz 6

On our way to Baton Rouge we first stop to visit the towns of Breaux Bridge and Henderson.

Breaux Bridge
1. "The Crawfish Capital of the World"
2.  The city of 8,139 (2014) is 49% White and 47% Black or African American.
3.  The city gets its name from the first footbridge crossing the Bayou Teche, built by Firmin Breaux, an Acadian pioneer, in 1799.
4.  Hunter Hayes, the 4-year-old boy who sings Jambalaya, (Blog, Day 49  D-13) is from Breaux Bridge.  Today that 4-year-old is 23 years old!
5. My great-aunt Gerty (Marie Gertrude Thomas), born (Sept. 21,1915), was a school teacher in Breaux Bridge. (We share the same birthday...the same day, not the same year!)

Henderson
Henderson, a great place for freshwater fishing (bass, sac-au-lait or crappie, bream and other species.)  Local cuisine is some of the finest Cajun cooking anywhere.  A population of 1600, about 49% are English-speakers, 39% French-speakers, and 13% speak...Vietnamese!
We'll have the possibility for another airboat tour here, to see the beauty of the moss-filled cypress forest and the primitive habitat of wild alligators.

Cypress trees: they are bald cypress trees.  Why bald?  Because unlike other cypress trees, these are deciduous trees and loose their leaves...so, bald!
