After a couple of hours of sleep, we woke up the morning dew of the Crescent City. The air is damp and cool with bits of sunlight peeking through the iron balconies. Time for day two of our New Orleans adventure. Keep in mind that when we planned this trip, the only things on my itinerary were things to eat, not locations. Therefore the day should start with a light walk and hardy breakfast, followed by an early lunch, a few afternoon snacks and a big dinner. Trickle in some sightseeing and as far as I'm concerned, you have a perfect day. Shall we?
Warm enough to wear shorts and no sleeves
Egg's Stanley from Stanley: Eggs Benedict with fried oysters
Breaux Bridge Benedict: Eggs Benedict with boudin and ham
Nomming some pralines
Lunchtime in the garden; Shrimp & grits and muffaletta sandwich in the courtyard of Cafe Amelie
Just an afternoon snack; Crawdads from J's Seafood Market
Cute and delicious
Don't forget to suck the brains out! Haha
Love all the signs on the ground
Hop onto the streetcar on Canal street
Heading to the Garden District via streetcar
Beautiful homes
Wish we had time to eat here, Commander's Palace
Love the trees and columns
Prosciutto and mozzarella balls and strawberry mint lemonade from GG's Dine-o-Rama
Beads everywhere
Another, less expensive, Hurricane
Jazz sculptures in Louis Armstrong park
Night lights
Red beans & rice, seafood and okra gumbo and shrimp po' boy
Time to get rowdy
Whose that pale chick by the horses?
View from the top
Balcony view
Come get some beads!
Early morning fog before we leave NOLA
Farewell New Orleans, 'til we meet again
Without a doubt, I will be back. New Orleans has seduced me with her gorgeous buildings, rich history and amazing food and it's that kind of lust that keeps you coming back for more. What a way to welcome 27.
