“Keep The Rubber Side Down”

It was not so easy getting to the ”Big Easy”!  A short 400 mile ride was quite a chore as a strong wind coming off the gulf, buffeted us all morning, But by mid afternoon we entered the heart of New Orleans and the difficult ride became a thing of the past. Due to the fact my body was weary, a storm was brewing off shore, and I was famished, we made the decision to spend the night in the French Quarter.   

We secured a room and headed out for some food and entertainment.  If you have never visited Nola put it on your list.

 After a dinner of gumbo and blackened catfish, we headed to Maison Bourbon, a small out of the way Jazz room just off Bourbon St.   This place works hard to keep the authentic New Orleans Jazz alive and well.  Later we took in some more sites and sounds of this great city.

What a great night!
