What-To-Do Wednesday - Virtual Visits: Cajun Encounters Tours

If you are still stuck inside and/or if you are still not able to visit any museums or other attractions in your area, many museums and other attractions are still offering a variety of virtual exhibits. This is an especially great time to explore museums and attractions that are outside of your area and maybe even outside of your country that you ordinarily would not be able to get to because of time and/or money constraints. We will continue to share more virtual visits in our What-To-Do Wednesday posts until we are able to resume our regular Where-To-Go Wednesday posts.
