New Orleans











St Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans is just as beautiful as ever. The French Quarter was as crowded as Disney and very hot. As we walked around there were musicians playing wonderful New Orleans Jazz.


We had a wonderful lunch at Acme Oyster House which has been featured on the Food Chanel's, Drive-Ins, Dinners and Dives. We started out with the most wonderful appetizers of grilled oysters in garlic butter with Parmesan cheese on top. We then shared a Seafood platter. Yum...... While we were eating, a little girl around Layla's age, walked by Chris, stopped and smacked him on the shoulder. She must have thought he looked like someone because she grinned and kept on walking. The waiters were laughing and you should have seen the look on Chris's face. She must have thought he needed it.


We drove down through the Garden District with homes dating back to the early 1800's. There amongst the beautiful southern homes we drove past Loyola and Tulane Universities.


We have already had a bump in the road. Our rear camera has gone out. You should have seen Chris and I reading a wiring diagram and switching camera cables! The Good Lord help us All. Tomorrow we are off to Memphis for 3 days. Elvis Here I Come...........
