Saying goodbye to New Orleans

Today was our last day here in Crescent City and we wanted to get away from the tourist sites and see, smell, and hear the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. Rather than take the shuttle, we opted to drive the dually right into town. We walked down thru the French Market and over to Bourbon Street. Music, liquor, and food is everywhere as well as some of the strangest people ever, including one chubby woman standing in front of a burger joint yelling “Give me money, I want a cheeseburger “ to passing tourists. My niece Armida suggested a stop at Dickie Brennan’s for a Bourbon punch, it’s more like a Bourbon milkshake, just wonderful! Then next door to the Acme Oyster House. Our dinner was chargrilled oysters and Seafood Étoufee with fried crawfish. Man, can they cook down here! We also saw the St. Louis Cathedral.
