Does anyone know anything about Lafayette, Louisiana?

So a couple of months ago, my hubby comes home and tells me he applied for a promotion for work, but it wasn't in this area. I thought at the time : WOW, he actually did something to further his career without me pushing him into it?? So I start asking questions... and I find out, its in Lafayette, Louisiana!!

After the initial "ACK! I can't move there!" argument, and the ensuing "There's GATORS everywhere!!" panic attack, common sense has once again settled in (I hope) so I have decided this could be a really good opportunity for us. That being said, does anyone know much about that part of the state of LA?

Nothing at all but I just HAD to say what a gorgeous horse !

Oh my goodness-I missed this. That's going to be a serious culture shock. I hear the food is amazing! Best of luck with the move.

I have several friends in the area. It is hot, but there is alot to do. No snow, lots of dogs shows in the area. Food is great, what else???
