We started off on Saturday, at Agave' Mexican Restaurant and Cantina, sipping a frozen Margarita and having a little bite to eat. I ordered my favorite, Fiesta Salad , and worked my way up to some succulent crawfish quesadillas. Out of this world, cher!
The Krewe de Chiens, (doggie parade) was set to roll at 2:00 pm and Agave' is right on the parade route. It was a beautiful day, and the crowd was jubilant! Thousands of doggie lovers and their pets lined the streets of downtown Lafayette to watch the costumed canines strut their stuff. What a blast!
