Saturday (5/2) We went to the French Quarter in New Orleans. There were a number of street performers on Royal Street which was only open to pedestrian traffic. It was a very festive atmosphere. I don't think I have ever seen so many bars!!!!! (see pictures)
We also went to the Riverwalk. It is a nice new shopping center with food right along the Mississippi River. Given the number of empty stores and food places, it would seem that they are not doing well. Today being Saturday, you would expect it to be busy and it was not.
In the early evening we "Skyped" the folks at the Blue Ridge Rally. That is a rally of 24 T@B trailers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, an event we attended last year. It was great to be able to see and say hello to everyone over the internet. Thanks Susan for making the "Skype visit" possible.
We did go to a casino for a bit of gambling today. Once again, we were up just a little bit - which is great! We had free tickets for the casino buffet and we ate crab legs until they came out of our ears!!!!
S & R...
ReplyDeleteSeeing you and talking to you last night via SKYPE was just too cool! Sorry we couldn't chat for very long. Maybe I'll sign up for SKYPE too. I should have asked Susan some questions to find out more about it. Have fun in the Big Easy Travel safely.

Hello Sue and Rich:
ReplyDeleteYour pictures of New Orleans bring back memories of when I worked in that area. We used to go to a chain of drive-through bars called Daquiries N Cream.
