...in Old New Orleans Town-Pat, Graeme and I made a day of it out in the French Quarter yesterday. It's been unusually foggy while they've been here. These barges on the Mississippi River looked almost ghostly from the Moon Walk.
We started off from the Wyndam Gardens Hotel on Baronne Street, did just enough of Bourbon Street to know we'd had enough before we cut over to Royal Street, and then cut behind the St. Louis Cathedral to wander through Jackson Square, to the river, to the French Market, back up to the Square, to the Napoleon House and then our wrap of the day (or so we thought) at Cafe Du Monde.
Heading back to their hotel, I wanted to show them the Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone. They enjoyed it so much that we sat and had a drink there. It was a good thing...we were able to sit and enjoy a huge downpour from one of the many gargantuan picture windows that look out on to Royal Street. Making the corner back to their hotel so I could retrieve my bike, Pat announced that we had walked 10,000 steps. Mon Dieu! That announcement made my poor pitiful feet hurt even more!
We'd shared quite a chock full two days together in New Orleans and points beyond. Here's a favorite shot from my favorite place. I don't think I'd even have to ask you to guess where this is! I'll be back with more tomorrow.
