It was warm the evening before, when we arrived, and this day turned out downright hot! We were walking around in t-shirts and sweated!
This morning we just took off on foot to see what we could see. Which was a lot!
Did we love it? Yes!
The wonderful New Orleans balconies
A paddlewheel boat. Looks like it would be fun.
I brought my own "Bad Boy" with me!
No, I did not buy this t-shirt.
We had our first highlight of our trip that evening: Dinner at Antoine's. It opened in 1840 and is the oldest family-run restaurant in New Orleans. This was my third time there.
It is much more formal than our usual choice of restaurants, and the food is French/New Orleans. Which means outstanding! And we had a very special meal: Revéillon, a multi-course dinner served traditionally on Christmas Eve and/or New Year's Eve.
I no longer remember what we ate, but all four courses were truly outstanding. We debated whether we would walk home or simply roll along the sidewalk!
The next morning we talk a very long walk along the waterfront to the Audubon Aquarium. Great fun as always.
Fascinating to watch the diver feed the rays!
These are pillows, and I wish I had bought one!
We ate lunch at the food court and then trekked back to the hotel. We took a wrong turn at some point and ended up walking much further than needed.
Dinner came from the grocery store again. We decided to alternate dining in and dining out, if we ate out every day for dinner (as well as lunch) we would have to buy all new clothes to fit into.
