... it's hard to capture in photos, they're so static and this place is about hearing, smelling and being in. There's a really strong vibe to the place.<br><br>We watched a huge, full size iron ship make its way down the river which made me realise just how mighty the Missisippi is! From there we made our way back from the river to pick up the car and drove to Cochon for lunch, Lisa readily assuring us it was one of her favourite places in town. We had a great lunch ...

... It's a dingy looking diner, where all the women behind the counter have about 3 teeth, and you ask yourself why you're here. Then you look on the wall and see about a thousand photos of celebrities, and you can tell by looking at everyone else's food that this is something not to be missed. So, I ordered the turkey ferdi. For those of you who know my food habits, I don't usually get anything on my sandwich... I'm just a plain kinda gal. But I knew this was special, and ...

We can't believe we waited this long to see Bourbon Street..unreal. Basically to sum it up it is the greatest party on the planet. Every bar is rocking, live music, girls dancing in the windows, partying on the streets, wow! <br>We became part of the entertainment with our dance moves ...

... with a personal story then going around in a circle and telling personal stories that are triggered by things other people say. They stressed not saying something just to speak. Then we split into 2 groups, did a story circle, and then made a presentation to express our common themes. They then had to cut our time a little short but said the stories will be drastically different in three weeks at the end of our trip once we know each other better. After they left we had lunch at the ...

... does. Wow! I actually felt pretty good getting up this morning and was able to get an early start on my touring...that is, if you call 10 am early. So this was the plan. Get downtown...uptown...the center of town...whatever they want to call it, park the truck, then get on the tram, head up St. Charles, and get off every so often and walk around the various neighbourhoods. What actually happened...drive down St. Charles Avenue...stop &amp; park, walk around Tulane ...

So can you guess where we are right now? We're suppose to be blogging at night after our day of traveling and adventures, but this time is different. We can't even recall why we decided to come to this place, when we knew it was popular for it's hurricanes. So, we guess it's our fault and we should blame ourselves. Last night we left Vegas at 3am and arrived here to New Orleans, LA in roughly 6 hours. It is ...

From there, we basically toured the "The Old Spanish Trail" via paved and unpaved side roads up through Breaux Bridge while the girls napped. It is simple, beautiful countryside, broken by small hamlets and huge spreads of sugar cane fields. We arrived that evening in New Iberia. This city closed at 5 PM on a Friday night of Memorial Day weekend. The ...
