And we’re off! It was fun that the weather report for the southern US on CNN was relevant today, but the forecast is still in a state of flux…
As we head to Portland and get closer to boarding the plane, here’s my list of experiences to hope to have in New Orleans:
See the end of the Mississippi River.
Soak up a street band.
See a Mardi Gras parade.
Learn a bit about voodoo, but not too much.
Wander through a cemetery.
Learn about Katrina/see some areas impacted.
Tour the inside of (at least) one historic home… and lots of walking, around the outside of lots of cool buildings and houses.
Buy local spices at the French Market
Taste nutria… Xander’s request.
Check out the following local culinary delights, including muffuletta, chicken gumbo & a creole dish. No olive spread or debris gravy, thanks. And sadly, dodging seafood all week.
For desserts, try beignet, Banana Foster, and a Tabasco Praline. For drinks, check out the Rhubarb Bloody Mary.
Relax & enjoy time with Bruce.
Fixin’ to have a great time…
