Louisiana

I want to see the French Quarter again. I have seen it once and really want to see it again. I only had about an hour and a half to spend on Bourbon Street before we had to leave and I just didn’t have the time to really take it all in. So, now I have to go back. And I can’t wait to do so.

Went to New Orleans before Katrina in the hot, muggy summer. It was wonderful though.

I only drove through this state on my way to Chicago. I really wanted to stop and get some photos, but I got rushed onto an exit ramp and ended up on a bridge that was literally 23 miles long. BY the time it ended I was 19 miles out of the city.

Jazz Fest 08 AMAZZZZZZING!!!!!!!

Creole food is the best ever! Seriously!

I’ve been to Many to go shopping at the Wal-Mart. Not very exciting but thats where i’ve been in Louisiana.

Unlike Las Vegas, a place I also love, New Orleans is not manufactured, it evolved from the mud and people, making for the most exotic place I have been to in the US.

I went before the hurricane, so i cant say much about it now.
i loved every minute of it however before!

Look, I lived there for 47 years and I’ll never be entirely free of the place. Great place to visit, but it will kill you to live there.

That said, here’s my four rules for visiting New Orleans:

1. You don’t have to drink it all the first day; there weill be plenty tomorrow.

2. Not all of the beautiful women on Bourbon St. are either.

3. Do everything the nice policeman tells you to do.

4. If it looks dangerous, it is.

Have fun, don’t get too stupid, and go home alive.

Very little planned Mardi Gras trip with few friends. Good place to let the “steam out”, especially if you come from good old Texas. Not too many rules here, underage drinking, lots of naked people (even tho it was freezing). All in all two thumbs yp to NOLA
