The French market was a collection of nick nacks and souvenirs with the local flavour, including dried out gators... Ewwww. Or you can just buy your gator canned up ready to eat... Still ewwww!
The rest of the day was spent wandering the streets, stopping into any place the music sounded good and watching street performers.
For lunch we tried to find Cajun Crawfish, only to be advised it was out of season so we settled for oysters and Cajun prawns and corn instead! Tough life. The oysters were delicious, big and fresh.
The buildings are brightly colored and there is plenty of greenery.
The letting agent for this apartment had a sense of humour, and was covering his bases- the reverse side said 'haunted'!
Bourbon Street was heaving by the time we headed towards our hotel for a rest before dinner. Lots of street performers, and music everywhere. The laws allow you to walk around with drinks in hand, so as you move on the pub provides plastic cups for you to take your drinks away in.
After a long day Baz and I had a casual dinner at 'Daisy Dukes' diner where Baz tried a shrimp poboy and I did a Philly cheesesteak.
I stopped and chatted with a trumpet player on the street on the way home, who have us some tips on music clubs away from the main tourist area that would be worth checking out- we'll see what tonight brings!
