Left Alabama early and headed west to New Orleans. Arrived in good time, dropped of car and headed for a snoop about the French Quarter. Found ourselves on the craziness that is Bourbon St. and grabbed a couple of beers while listening to an awesome soul band. Stopped for one in Lafitte's Blacksmiths (oldest house in Nawlins). Strolled out to Garden District to check into our lovely hotel, the Prytania Park. Later went to fabulous Slice Pizzeria for a seriously good dinner before returning to the Quarter for a night on the town.
