New Orleans on Lucy's 12th birthday
... a dinner cruise on the paddlesteamer, the Creole Queen, with a jazz band playing. Dinner was a creole buffet of fabulous food such as jambalaya, gumbo, creamy mashed potatoes, brisket and catfish. The crowd was fairly small, as New Orleans at this time of year is quiet.
