First stop this morning, we're off to the French Quarter and Cafe Du Monde for Beignets.
Tasty little things.
The street cleaner came through washing the street with water an a hint of flowers. Freshened the air.
This group on the sidewalk is right out of the 60's. They were passing a quart size bottle of coke and a bottle of whiskey to each other. A gulp from the whiskey bottle, then the coke bottle, then passed it on to the next person. Meanwhile panhandling for $$ from every passerby. I am not sure if that was their BMW parked on the street in front of them or not.
Going up the arched 'hallways' between the buildings would revile some really great courtyards.
We loved the balconies and the ferns.
We walked for hours taking in the people, shops, bars, and Bourbon Street among others. The bar behind me in the picture here is pretty full. Sitting at a bar stool was a guy wearing chaps and a leather bra. Gotta love this area. And this is daytime.
Martha was able to catch the 11am Mass. The church once hosted Pope Paul II.
Beautiful inside and out.
After checking out the area for about four hours, we walked back to the square to try Muffaletas for lunch.
We got a great table. Nice to listen to music at the proper volume. No amps blasting away, just good music.
These things are huge. A meat sandwich with many varieties of olives. Served with a nice seasoned oil to sprinkle onto it.
Then why not? Pecan Pie and Bread Pudding.
A little more walking. We have to walk off the dessert.
Of course, battle reminders as New Orleans is a strategic location.
That is going to be it for today. Nap time. "Pass the Cajun Sauce Please"
