New Orleans - July 10th/11th





Flying In to New Orleans


The Rumbling Mississippi River



Eating @ Emeril Lagassi's Nola in the French Quarter

(Mark had deep-fried duck livers)

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee - Delicious

World Famous Burbon Street - 11 PM
Not quite booming yet but growing


Bourbon Street - 12:30 AM - Random Jazz Ensemble

Day 2 - Bourbon Street gets a bath and it starts all over again

Day 2 - Jackson Square - St. Louis Cathedral (learn more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Square,_New_Orleans,_Louisiana)

Beignet's (pronounced ben–YAY, from the Middle French word for "bump") @ Cafe Du Monde - Served with Chickory Coffee - Great Start to Day 2


Fats Domino's House - Lower 9th Ward - Need I say More

Lower 9th Ward - July 11th - 2008

I recommend renting or buying the documentary "When the Levees Broke" by Spike Lee to get an understanding of the post-Katrina floods
