January 25-26 2029

We arrive in New Orleans on Friday the 25th. We had reservations at Bayou Segnette State Park in an area called Westwego. We are only about 20 mins from downtown New Orleans.
By the time we got into the park, set up and set up the motorhome, it was late afternoon. We got out and drove around to check out the area. We decided that we would spend the day in downtown on Bourbon St.
We left the camp ground and saw a fish flee market! Unuaual huh? Thats what it was. Just 25-30 venders with coolers selling their fish, crabs, oysters, and crabs. They also had a food area of which Rod and I had an alligator sausage po boy. Yummy!!! Rod not only likes to see alligators, he like to eat them as well LOL
We arrived downtown this morning about 10:30 and spent the entire day. I have to say it is just as I remembered from many years ago, it’s still just a filthy place!!  We rode the downtown trolly through town and there are some beautiful homes, the college, Loyola collage, was gorgeous. We really enjoyed the ride around town. We stopped a a cafe on Canel St and enjoyed Beignets. Great fluffy square doughnuts covered in powered sugar!! No calories lacking there !!! Hehe
After we had walked as long as we could we went back to where we parked and low and behold A PARKING TICKET!!!
How could they dare ticket such a cute little doodlebug!! Lol
We had simply forgotten to put money in the meter. Oh well it was a great parking spot, but $30.00 ??
Paid for our mistake when I got home via the website!! They make it quiet simple to pay a fine!! Lol
We made reservations for an air boat ride tomorrow through the swamps to see yet some more alligators!! Hehe We both love an airboat always wished we could have had one in Georgetown.
I’ll try and post as many pics as I can!! And let you know what adventures we enjoy tomorrow!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
