| Well I see you found your way to another page with Raccoons on it.Here in Louisiana about the only way you might see a real raccoon is dead on the side of the highway or into someone pot cooking on the stove...But you can see them out into the wild of the swamp....LOL..but if you lucky you might see a live one along the swamp, walking on the edge of the water looking for some crawfish to eat. Well I'm sorry to say this is not a Raccoon Page it a page about us crazy cajun who live here and the way we all talk and carry on with all our silly little ways.I am a true cajun so I am talking about myself also, some of us are this way but most of us are not...but this is not to make fun of cajuns ways but just to show it a way of life down in the deep South in Cajun country also known as the CAJUN COAST...Enjoy....Shirley |
