New Orleans

---

SO, had an unevenful flight here, with a 2 or so hour stop over in Dallas. Luggage arrived in New Orlenes intact which was very nice.

We found our little VRBO, its a cute little suite, that is about 10 ft across and 30 feet long, its in a very old building, probably slave quarters or something from hundreds of years ago. We dropped our gear and went on to Bourbon street, which is the main street in the French Quarter. Lots of peeps out, all the bars and restaurants trying to bring business in from the street. Offering, "no cover, and 3 for 1 drinks!" ( I can think of a few people who might enjoy that )

We were hungry so found a restaurant with balcony dining, slammed a few beer and had the best damn catfish we've ever had. We were so beat from the day that we stumbled back to our suite and had a great sleep. I even got some beads thrown down to me from someone on a balcony and didnt even have to flash anyone for them lol.

So far today we went to the greasy spoon for some breaky, then hiked for hours to find a grocery store where we bought a few groceries.

We are trying to upload pictures as we go, but are new to this blogging experience. If you see a picture, and click on it, it will bring up other ones if we put more than one up.

Over and out for now...Karen

I visited New Orleans
Back in 2001. I took a train to Atlanta and back. My layover in New Orleands was about 16 hours each direction. I stayed in a hotel near Bourbon street on the way there, on the way back I camped out in the train station. I did walk around the city, though. Beautiful - but it was also before Hurricane Katrina. I am reading through your blog in Chronilogical order, so I shall see where you head, next!
