New Orleans! Who Dat Nation!
1st time we tried to visit we were living in Vancouver, I was going for work and we had bought Michelle a ticket. Then she decided to get meningitis which meant isolation in hospital and no trip.
This time it we made it all the way to big easy for a few days, ate way too much and enjoyed summer in February! There are more photos on the flickr photostream here.
On the ferry to Algiers.
Red beans and rice, yum!
I spotted this alligator. The tour guide didn't. I think he owes me about $100 in tips.
Some other highlights:
- jazz @ maison bourbon
- lots of walking downtown, streetcars, french quarter, street performers
- food. mr b's-bbq shrimp cafe du monde-beignets & coffee , acme oyster-boo fries, po-boys, Mother's- jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, bread pudding, red beans & rice
- drink. hurricane, rye whiskey, whiskey sour, mint julep and abita beer
- swamp tour, holding a baby alligator, giant wasps, our new friends from Boston and Spain
-oak alley plantation tour, old oak trees, nice old house
Good place to spend a few days. Friendliest people I have ever met in the USA. Special thanks to Lucien Miller our tour and taxi driver for the kind words and history tour.
