Day Three

You'll never miss them rice and beans...
After a long and delightfully air-conditioned sleep in Metairie, Louisiana, our friend from college showed us the sights of New Orleans. Our first stop was Russell's Short Stop for Po-Boys. The crawfish was delicious. After this we saw the French Quarter, the deceptively named Saint Louis Cathedral, the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, Basin Street, downtown New Orleans, and Cafe du Mond (perhaps one of the most delightful cafes I've seen on this side of the Atlantic -- and chicory makes all the difference in a cup of coffee). Later we're going to a party, then departing around 8:00 for the long haul across Texas. I'd love to come back to the Crescent City to see more.
