The Big Easy



Today we left Bagdad, FL before ten 0'clock and arrived at New Orleans, LA at three o'clock. After unpacking the truck, my dad drove us out to downtown New Orleans to show us the restaurants and shops there (my dad as a software engineer worked in New Orleans and knew how to get to these places).

After eating beignets (pastries with powdered sugar) and drinking decaf "cafe au lait" at the Cafe Du Monde, we went exploring the streets and stores. After a couple of hours walking, we ate barbecued shrimp at Mr. B's Bistro. It was a very tasty snack.
We spent the rest of the day looking in antique stores and walking. We topped it all off with a seafood place where they served oysters. They were a quick favorite of mine (I ate twenty-one) and will always order oysters when at a seafood restaurant. (Blogged by Daniel)
