NuOrlyns - French Quarter

---

Gotta say this name right!.

If there is one place in the world you can choose to see before you die, come see The Big Easy.

Bourbon St, one of a kind.

Flew in yesterday afternoon, checked into gorgeous little Hotel St. Marie in the French Quarter. After a rest we headed down the street to check out the sights. I think the main aim is to not only separate you from as much of your money as they can but to also turn you into an alcoholic....that's if you're not already one before you got here.

Cocktails are the go. They have one called "The Hand Grenade" which is a patent & can only be sold here...we had ONE only then staggered off to order the obligatory Rib, sweet potato fries & another litre of alcohol.

At this rate, I won't be fitting into my wedding dress, but in this town, that wouldn't matter anyway!

After stuffing ourselves full & washing it down with local brew we checked out a pole dancing club, no cover charge & $2 cocktails!

Look out tonite.....
