Driving through Louisiana is an interesting experience with respect to the roads and all the water. We've mentioned all the swamp and water before, but once again, we were in the swamp. Check out all these roads criss-crossing over the water. Parts of this road (I-10) were severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina and we drove past some of the devastated areas.
New Orleans seems to be about food!
We didn't try this one.
How about an aligator ashtray?
We missed Mardi Gras by about a week so we couldn't really do anything really terrible. Probably a good thing...the roo and I have been in enough trouble.
Of course, if you are in New Orleans and aren't eating, you are probably drinking.
Bourbon Street is just one bar after another. The drinks are fairly cheap and plentiful and they all have a specialty where rum is a common ingredient. The unique thing is being able to stroll down the street with a drink in hand.
In the evening there is live music in just about every place. It is really a great, fun atmosphere, although we noticed that the atmosphere deteriorated later at night. We saw three policemen on horses with a couple of drunk characters sitting on the curb. Even the horses were giving the drunks the evil eye which was funny to see but probably not a good idea to photograph.
Chris and Phil kept the roo and myself locked up in the RV all the time here. They just don't trust us anymore.
