Fun Stuff in New Orleans

We did more than eat, but it seems that the food was definitely a high light. The above picture is a yummy little appetizer called "Swamp Bites" half fried and half blackened. The drinks are Hurricanes, don't order the class "5" it will be the last thing you do for a couple of days.

Bourbon Street is everything you heard about and more, lots of good music, a bar on every corner, strip joints, bead throwers, flashers, drinks to go, 3 beers for a dollar, and that was on a Monday night.

There was a big oil spill clean up going on right out the back door of our hotel, this of course shut down the free ferry to Algiers and all the paddlewheel boats, which we where going to do, next time.
We had a great trip and I am tired and will post more pic's tomorrow or the next day, Oh Gale we found one penny smasher and it was out of order, and if you try to visit the Museum of Art it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, nobody on the Trolley told us until we got there. The cemetaries are open all the time 24/7, and there are bunch of them, more later. Good Night
