The next night (Wednesday the 23 of April) we stayed at a real red neck campground. It was in Gulf Shores Alabama. Just by comparision we looked like high class. We finally fround someplace where we looked good, but we were only there for one night. Good thing ,I kept hearing dueling banjos. The next morning we headed out through Mississippi , to New Orleans La. The main highways are in terrible condition around New Orleans. We made reservations at a KOA campground in New Orleans.
The first day we toured Destrihan Plantation, an old sugar plantation.It was very interesting and stately. We talked to the girl that gave the tour. She told us things to do while in New Orleans.
For breakfast, the next day we went to the French Quarter. We had "Cafe au lait" and "Beignet"(pronounced" ben yea ") at the Cafe Dumond. Lunch was at the Gumbo Shop. I had to try something new, Jambalaya. It was pretty good.
We walked around the french quarter most of the day. We had to include Bourbon St. !!! It doesn't have much on Duval st in Key West. The Buildings were all adorned with rought iron railings.It was very interesting too.
We took a street car (not named desire) just so that we could say we took a street car in New Orleans. Guess what, no stella!! The street car was a rescue for our feet from all the walking we did.
Saturday was a perfect start of a day for the Jazz Fest. We did enjoy the Dixie land music in a tent. We had lunch from a variety of venders. Things were going good until it started to pour. If you were in a tent it wasn't bad. Billy Joel was to perform on an outside stage at 5:30. We were totaly drenched by 5:00 P.M. and just couldn't think about listening to Billy Joel in the pouring rain and mud. We headed back to the campground. Sunday evening we went out for pizza. We saw another couple eating Crawfish. I asked the waitress if we could try a few. She gave them to us for free. Monday morning we left New Orleans for Natchez Mississippi.
