Craps
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 and went over everything slowly and throughly but I was still confused. It’s a very popular and lively game but it’s just not for me.Baca lagi

Walking the Floor
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 is a nice change of pace.Baca lagi

Playing the Slots
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 guy looks better suited to a horror movie than a casino!Baca lagi

Lose the Barricades!
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 thought of this, it’s a bad idea!Baca lagi

Chinese Dragon
8 November 2022 ⋅ ☀️ 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.

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
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌩️ 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 so prominently in the New Orleans Jazz music.Baca lagi

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 available.Baca lagi

Snack Time!
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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.

8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 is available everywhere but, unfortunately, it’s not.Baca lagi

Good Stuff!
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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!

8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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. We’re disappointed.Baca lagi

Still Tasty

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 our last visit.Baca lagi

Cafe DuMonde
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 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 have to deal with the heat or humidity of the New Orleans afternoons.Baca lagi

From Farm to Table
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 imaginative. I was even considering going into the store and picking up a bit of candy corn but, feeling full from the beignets, decided to pass.Baca lagi

Waiting
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 type of transportation!Baca lagi

Where’s the Trolly?
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 that we didn’t come here in the summer season!Baca lagi

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 Orleans. I wish we had these in New York City.Baca lagi

French Market
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 to the flea market at the end of Esplanade Avenue, the French Market includes five blocks of local produce, specialty art, handmade crafts, retail shopping and more.Baca lagi

Mardi Gras Masks
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌩️ 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 taken, even if you buy something from them. If you have a strong enough zoom lens, you can still get good photos without incurring their wrath.Baca lagi

Shucking Oysters
8 November 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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.
