Au Long du Bayou Têche

We took our little bâteau out on Bayou Têche at Leonville the other day. Went down to where there is an old dump and bottle bank. I found a couple
of cool old bottles, but being on he bank is sorta scary. It reminded me
of that scene in the movie Labyrinth where they are sinking in the trash. The bank is practically "made" of broken glass and rusted aluminum and metal of all kinds, and covered with a nice layer of bayou mud, leaves and poison ivy. The bank is steep and Il faisait chaud! It was hot out. On the ride back we saw some very strange "brain-like" fruits of the bois d'arc. Back at the new launch across from Champagnes Marché I found a few more old shards. Some very beautiful ones along the Bayou Têche.
