The Atchafalaya River meets the Gulf Intracoastal Way (GICW) in Louisiana’s twin cities of Berwick and Morgan City. The cities sit opposite one another with railway and highway bridges connecting the two. Our destination was Morgan City but there was a large dredging machine on the city dock when we arrived so we were lucky enough to get a glimpse of Berwick, as well.
Berwick, LA
Berwick was the fishing side of the river. We docked in front of a seafood processing plant between these guys…
There was some sort of art installation along the waterfront park. These were 5′ x 8′ panels scattered along the dock and the lawn. There was nothing to explain who the artists were or what the theme of the display was; they were nice nonetheless.
Morgan City, LA
Both Berwick and Morgan City were all dressed up for Christmas. The tree in the foreground is in Morgan City and across the river you can see the Berwick Christmas display!
The people in Morgan City were so friendly…both times we were there. We loved our visit. One man even offered us his car! I’m glad y’all are having a good time. We also had a great meal at Rita Maes. Merry Christmas to y’all.
