How about basing yourselves in Cambridge for the summer? Historic and interesting city, highly walkable (and bike-able)! Close to Norfolk (by car and by train). Handy for London also by fast train. You might be able to get cheap accommodation in student halls while the students are out on summer break.
Thanks, I looked into it and Cambridge looked really nice. I'm seriously going to consider it.
sorry but Norfolk has a reputation in UK for being inbred and full of country oikes, not to mention fattest part of England . Lovely place though... kind of. Very flat.
New Orleans is hardly the Cajun area of Louisana.Its main influence is french-creole. The funeral is just that; not typical cajun funeral. The heart of cajun louisana is east and centers on breaux bridge/lafayette area. The cooking is more country and quite different from that in new orleans really. The cajun dishes are really a adaptation of cajun in new orleans. The main cooking new orleans is know for is french cooking with creole adaptation.Even the accent of native new orleanians is quite different really.
The people in England are warmer than their climate and, the biggest bit of adaptation you will endure is in the food department, you are used to really good, spicy food, after Louisiana cooking it will seem that you have gone on a bland food and milk toast diet. Were it not for chinese or italian take out (take-away, in their parlance) I suspect half the country would starve.

I agree with half the country starving if they got rid of takeaways, but include Indians and Fish and Chip shops. I'm not one of them by the way, i like cooking
I love NOLA and I think Cambridge is a good idea for you since you have done the London thing. You will just be another American, unless you have a serious Cajun accent then people would be confused. Are you actually Cajun or just using the term?
Louisiana, Texas, and Florida are my favorite states in the US. People from other countries tend to go to certain places and really don't know much about these places or have total misconceptions about what they are like. NOLA is a great place and I love Texas too. The Gulf is just neat in general.
BTW. a word of advice. Do not, I repeat do not go to any restaurants in the UK, that is restaurants claiming to have Mexican, Tex-Max Cajun or Creole food. It simply does not exist there. Oh they have the names, but the food is not anything like the real food.
Enjoy your trip.
