When you can make your first stop of the day Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans - French Quarter to dine on Chicory Coffee and Beignets covered in astronomic amounts of powdered sugar. After all this sugar walking around the French Quarter the remainder of the day is in order. (My pedometer registered 14,336 steps today!!)

We walked around Jackson Square an area full of artists’ displaying their crafts and hoping for a sale. After a walk around the square we headed down to the river and walked along watching Tug Boats, Tankers, and Barges head down the mighty Mississippi.

After walking along the river we walked to Bourbon Street to watch the people.  On St. Peter Street we saw Pat O’Brien’s and headed in for a World Famous Hurricane made with copious amounts of Rum! We spent the remainder of the afternoon walking around the French Quarter looking at the crazy people and beautiful architecture with the wrought iron railings.  

We decided to have our lunch/dinner at Cornet on their balcony over the street so we could watch all the happenings below us. The guys had Huge Ass Beer and we drank water, the Hurricanes were still with us! We dinned on mouthwatering red beans and rice, gumbo, corn and crab soup with hot French bread. So much was happening on the Bourbon Street below we stayed on the balcony until the Cornet got so busy we felt we should leave.

 Strike a pose and let tourists take pictures and then give you a tip!

 Is that man kidnapping the Minion?

 Which person is dressed differently? Or would it be - which person forgot her shirt????
