Getting Close

This bridge looks to be designed more for trains than cars. The whole time we’ve been out here, though, I haven’t heard a single train going by. I’m wondering if this bridge is part of an oldLeggi altro
Passing Under

It’s all water under the bridge, as the saying goes. I’m surprised to see that a lot of this bridge seems to be made of wood. I would think that all the moisture in the swamps would make thatLeggi altro
Land Ho!
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti
Our swamp experience is over and we’re back on dry land. I’d say that this was the best thing we’ve done in New Orleans, so far, and I’d definitely like to try it again sometime.
Back to Nawlins

The ride back to New Orleans seemed to go a lot faster than I expected. Kathy napped for a bit so I just munched on some alligator jerky and watched the scenery pass on by.
I Dig That Licorice Stick!

The Holiday Inn hotel was the first drop off point for the shuttle bus. It’s a nice looking hotel, with that big clarinet on the side of the building, but it’s a little outside the center of theLeggi altro
Back on Canal Street

We were soon dropped off very close to our hotel. I’m glad that it wasn’t much of a walk. Even though it’s still early in the day, I’m starting to become a little worn out.
Hitching Posts

These horse hitching posts are all over the French Quarter. They were originally used to "hitch" or tie a person's horse so that they could galavant around town running errands or grabbing cocktails.Leggi altro
Sites in the French Quarter
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti
New Orleans has a look and feel that is so much different than any other city we’ve ever been to. The sights around the city, like this balcony, are so eye catching and unique.
Balconies

These iconic balconies in the French Quarter are so beautiful and really sets the mood for the slower and more laid back feel of New Orleans. They are so photogenic!
Gumbo Shop

We’ve been reading so many good reviews about this place that it made us very eager to try it. Kathy is wanting to try all the different types of Cajun and creole food so this place should beLeggi altro
At Our Table

The Gumbo Shop looks, and feels, like a very classic old restaurant. It’s very popular so I’m sure that the food is going to be fantastic!
Gumbo

Ordering gumbo from the Gumbo Shop is a no-brainer. Kathy ordered a bowl of this rice dish as an accompaniment to her dinner. It looks to be a bit too spicy for me. I didn’t even taste it!
Catfish Po’boy
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
I ordered something a lot less spicy, the catfish po’boy sandwich. It may not look as flashy or as photogenic as the gumbo but at least I know that it’s something that I could enjoy eating.
Spicy!
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
The gumbo was a bit spicier than Kathy had expected but she finished all of it, which surprised me. She’s really determined to eat her way through the whole menu of Cajun and Creole cuisine!
Catfish for Groot

Being that the gumbo was so spicy, Groot was satisfied to stick with sharing a bit of my catfish po’boy. It’s simple, tasty, and satisfying!
Size Matters

While walking back to the hotel, we past several places that looked kind of interesting and we were thinking about possibly visiting them before we left. I loved the name of this pizza place in theLeggi altro
Rev. Zombie’s Voodoo Shop
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti
We’ve passed by Rev. Zombie’s Voodoo Shop every time we come to New Orleans. The last time we visited, we bought Veronica a voodoo doll here. This place looks a lot creepier at night!
Where is Everyone?
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
The French Quarter seems a lot more quiet and empty than we remember it being. Where is everyone? This area seems kind of creepy when it’s empty.
The Queue
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
I guess that I spoke too quickly because I’m suddenly seeing this crowd of people queuing up for something. I’m not sure what this line is for but I’m guessing it’s to get into some bar orLeggi altro
Bourbon Street
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
I usually prefer traveling when things aren’t very crowded but this just feels strange. Bourbon Street is supposed to be a very lively and happening place, not like this.
Marie Laveau's House Of Voodoo

There's a lot more to voodoo than just pin cushions and dolls. You can learn about the historical and spiritual significance of the religion, and the woman who helped revive it in the city, at thisLeggi altro
Come In… If You Dare!
3 maggio 2022, Stati Uniti ⋅ 🌙 79 °F
This is one of the most unique, and creepy, stores I have ever been to. The people working here were very nice and friendly though, driving home the lesson of not judging books by covers. I have readLeggi altro
Ice Cream!

After a final stop for some ice cream, we’re ready to head back to our hotel and call it a night. We’re tired but very happy.
Good Morning!

After a great nights sleep, we’re ready to get up and start another day of fun and adventure in New Orleans!

We managed to get ourselves ready to go very quickly and now we’re ready to go out and have some breakfast.
