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 oldMeer informatie

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 thatMeer informatie

Land Ho!

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.

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.Meer informatie

Sites in the French Quarter

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.

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!

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.

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!
