Craps
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Craps is a casino game that I’ve never understood at all. Once, one of the casino workers running the craps table explained how the game is played but I still didn’t get it. He was very patientもっと詳しく
Walking the Floor
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Harrah’s New Orleans is so empty compared to the Harrah’s, and other casinos, in Las Vegas. Admittedly it’s still kind of early, but the places in Vegas are crowded 24-7. All the open space hereもっと詳しく
Playing the Slots
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Playing the slot machines is probably my favorite thing to do in the casino. I usually don’t win very much, if at all, but I have fun with it.
Little Gambler

After seeing how much fun I was having, Groot had to try the slot machines for himself. He was instantly hooked! He enjoyed himself even though he didn’t win anything.
Evil Jester
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
I know that this jester figure is meant to look festive and impart the flavor of New Orleans but there’s something about this jester that looks very evil. I think it’s the grin and eyebrows. Thisもっと詳しく
Lose the Barricades!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
This would be a great photo opportunity for selfies or pictures of couples if it wasn’t for the barricades around it. Roping this tiny steamboat off ruins it’s appeal and fun feeling. Whoeverもっと詳しく
Chinese Dragon
2022年11月8日 ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
This dragon doesn’t really seem to fit in with the rest of the decor in the casino but it certainly does look festive. I’m glad that they knew to go with red, a lucky color, for the dragon.
So Beautiful!

Kathy always looks extra beautiful in scenes like this. I’m thinking that, since she’s Chinese, she looks so natural in an Asian setting like this.
Trumpet
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌩️ 84 °F
When we left Harrah’s, we used their back entrance and saw this sculpture as we stepped outside. It’s an abstract and stylized trumpet. It’s a good choice for public art since trumpets featureもっと詳しく
Riverwalk
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Just across the street from Harrah’s is Riverwalk. This is basically just an outlet mall with a food court. It’s a bit early for lunch right now but a snack would be nice. Let’s go see what’sもっと詳しく
Snack Time!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Our first stop at Riverwalk was Cafe du Monde. We found that the beignets here are actually better than the ones served at the original, more popular, location.
So Thirsty!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
One thing I really like about this branch of Cafe du Monde, which the main branch doesn’t have, is unlimited access to free ice water. In a city as hot as New Orleans, I would think that cold waterもっと詳しく
Good Stuff!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Everyone loves beignets! Each serving consists of three beignets covered in powered sugar. Three is enough for Kathy and I to share but I certainly wouldn’t object to another serving!
Is Quality Slipping?
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
While still very good, I remember the beignets here being better than this. I remember them being quite a bit larger too! The ones being served now are harder and not as airy as they used to be.もっと詳しく
Still Tasty
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
No matter what we think of the beignets, Groot still loves them. He’ll eat pretty much anything though. It’s not really that they taste bad, they just taste different from what we experienced onもっと詳しく
Cafe DuMonde
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
I think that we prefer this location of Cafe DuMonde over the original one in the French Quarter. Yes, the other one feels more authentic, but this one is not as crowded and, being indoors, we don’tもっと詳しく
From Farm to Table
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
As we were leaving Riverwalk shopping center, I saw this sign hanging in one of the windows of a candy shop. I like candy corn, in limited amounts, and found this sign to be very clever andもっと詳しく
Waiting
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
We decided to go see the French Market and, rather than use a taxi, we’re going to take one of the trolley cars. I always enjoy riding the trolleys while we’re in New Orleans. It’s such a uniqueもっと詳しく
Where’s the Trolly?
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
I’m hoping that we won’t have to wait much longer for the streetcar to come. We’ve got some shade to stand under but the temperature is still so warm. If it’s this warm now, I’m really happyもっと詳しく
All Aboard!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
It didn’t take all that long for the streetcar to come but it felt longer because we were waiting. We’re now on our way to the French Market. I really enjoy riding these streetcars around Newもっと詳しく
French Market
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
Similar to some European markets, this historically charming open-air market features shopping, dining, music and local tradition that is uniquely New Orleans. From Cafe du Monde near Jackson Squareもっと詳しく
Corn on the Cob
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
The first thing we did, when we got to the French Market, was to get an ear of roasted Cajun corn. The corn is made with a selection of spices and seasonings that give it such a delicious flavor.もっと詳しく
So Tasty!
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌩️ 84 °F
The corn is just as tasty as we remembered it being the last time we were here. Unlike the beignets at Cafe Du Monde, at least this still tastes the same.
Mardi Gras Masks
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌩️ 84 °F
Souvenirs of New Orleans, like these masks, are primarily what is sold at the French Market. For whatever reason, the sellers are all very grouchy about cameras and won’t allow any photos to beもっと詳しく
Shucking Oysters
2022年11月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F
Shucking Oysters looks like a difficult and time consuming job. I would imagine it’s kind of dangerous too. If they slip with the knife they use to pry the shells open, it could cause some nasty cuts.
