New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana

Beignets at Cafe Du Mond. Yes, there is a theme here, its all about the food! A wonder around the old french quarter in the warm rain and then to the aquarium, which was probably the best I have seen. I did wonder if the Anaconda would be interested in a naughty child snack, but the thought passed. Regrettable the same thought was verbalized with the Alligators, to be informed by Dawn that the previous day the first attack by an alligator had been recorded in Louisiana. A child had lost there arm just down the road in Slidell.

Street ride up St. Charles to Camellia Grill for burgers and shakes. Would rate 7/10, it was decent, the service eclectic and the kids scoffed their grilled cheeses. But its a burger right?

Got back to the hotel to chill out, and took a trip to the lower 9th (details in another post). A need drink at the bar and then the delights of Bourbon street. Kids ate dogs, we ate seafood. All were happy.

How do you get the kids to sleep in a one room hotel? Beats the crap out of me.
