Made it back from the Crescent City. Kind of weird being a tourist in a tourist town after living there a while and then leaving. Some things have changed for the better, some for the worse and of course some things never change. We stayed at the French Market Inn and the web site makes it look a lot nicer than it was. Don’t get me wrong, it was nice and the location was excellent, but it really fell short of the mark in a lot of ways.
We did the touristy things – rode the St. Charles Street Car to the zoo – took the Natchez steamboat ride – went to the Aquarium & Imax – had coffee & beingets at the Cafe Du Monde (3 times) – wandered up & down Bourbon Street – browsed the antique stores on Royal Street – ate seafood – ate “cajun” food and read The Times-Picayune on the Moonwalk listening to jazz and watching the barges go by.. We did *NOT* flash our tits for beads – get our palm read on Jackson Square – take a carriage tour – buy a T-shirt with a dirty phrase on it – get drunk on Hurricanes at Pat O’Briens or take a Voodoo Walking tour.
As Glenda told Dorothy, “There’s no place like home.”
