Here are some pics of my journey to New Orleans so far. I am currently living in Harvey which is a suburb of New Orleans and about a 30 dollar cab ride to Bourbon street, which is not bad when the cost is split between three buddies.
This is driving over the New Orleans Bridge to get to the city, at least that’s what the cabbie told us it was called.
As we entered town….
Grits at Mcdonalds is only a dollar……
This is already on Bourbon Street we got there early in the day around 7 to 8 pm, I guess it does not get crazy until 2 am when people start to show up it was crazy enough for me though already even during the day….
First place we stopped at that had a balcony we could sit at that over looked Bourbon Street, this street was later blocked off from all traffic, not smart to try to drive downtown New Orleans at night.
Hot dog stand was selling hot dogs for 6 dollars each.
Crowded….this was the intersection between Canal and Bourbon St.
Homer! I wish I took more pics but as the night dragged on I was pretty much overwhelmed by everything, I took some video but am unable to get it off my phone camera and on to the blog, maybe Jen can help me out, but this all for now. I have to say I feel like I am getting to old for this s&^t it was just so overwhelming to be surrounded by people and loudness and drunken mayhem, I can only imagine what its like during Mardi Gras. On a off day like today it was crazy enough for me. I will continue to try to get the video on here, although it too was taken mostly during the day.
