The Spirit of New Orleans..

New Orleans is always a fun place to visit. The flights were tight so I sent Jesse ahead while I tried the next 3 flights for availability. I ended up getting there by 6:30 pm and Jesse had checked in and had wine waiting when I walked in the door. We listened to some great blues music that night. Sunday was spent riding the trolley through the garden district and stopping at the Audubon Park. From there we walked about 4 miles through the district looking at all the houses.











After a short rest it was off to the French Market and Jackson Square where the local artists sell their art.










A friend of mine told me to go to the Cafe Du Monde for Biegnets and coffee. I recommend it to everyone.
That night we hit Harrah's Casino and made 120 dollars on roulette. Feeling good we walked away and had dinner at ACME. After it was scary hurricane drinks and since we didn't remember much after that we have pictures to fill in the blanks. I guess I was playing the water glasses with Santa before getting back to the hotel.
Monday we walked around the water and spent some time at the cemeteries.

Lunch was spent at Johnny's eating the best Po Boys around. Tuesday came and even though I was exhausted I wanted to stay a little longer.
