Day 2 New Orleans

We went to the Honey Island Swamp Tour. Where I got some awesome photo's.

Since we were so close to Mississippi we went there for lunch which was an adventure trying to find places to have lunch, we ended up eating in Waveland, Mississippi.

A couple of us rested while the others went for a walk around the French Quarter did a little shopping. We returned back to the house got ready and went to Bourbon Street. A lot of nice clubs which were a lot of fun and a lot of different types of music. In one place they were playing jazz and blues, another place a lot of 80's music, and then others that were playing a variety of dance hits. Oh, and a lot of karaoke.

More to come tomorrow!!!!

1st night in New Orleans

We arrived around 3:30pm (CDT) in New Orleans. The house we're staying at is about 5 blocks from the French Quarter. It has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, full kitchen, formal dining room, family room, and sitting room. It sleeps 9 - 12 people and there are only 4 of us so plenty of space.

The only problem with renting is finding a grocery or what we consider a grocery. It took us a while to find a grocery (supermarket) that wasn't just a food mart (which didn't have what we wanted) :) Oh well, live and learn and check out more before next trip.

The temperature was in the high 90's and humid but was bearable late in the afternoon, with temperatures dropping as the evening progressed.

We ate at a restaurant name Praline Connection. For what we paid for we received a lot of food and had some take home containers, we high recommend. We had everything from the seafood platter to poboys to meatloaf to fried chicken, all good!!!. We are pretty tired and will call an early night.


Tomorrow we are going on a Swamp tour and probably the Farmer's Market and of course to see what New Orleans nightlife is like. Looking forward to listening to live blues and jazz.

Have a wonderful night!!!
