New Orleans Weekend!

This weekend John, Joe, and Dan had relatives visiting them from Italy! They decided to take them to New Orleans for the weekend. We had lots of fun and even got to go to LSU for the LSU vs MSU game. I took a few pictures, but not too many.

Crossing over Lake Pontchartrain! The sun was setting and it was so pretty!

Started the weekend with a Kir Royal. 

I got to New Orleans after work and didn't have a key to the hotel room yet. So I ended up getting a free voucher to the bar while I waited on the group to get back.

John's relatives wanted to hear the sounds for New Orleans, this Jazz bar came highly recommended. I really enjoyed this place. There was great live music, but at a level where you could still hear people talking beside you.

A walk down Bourbon Street.

Hand Grenade (A Bourbon Street delicacy)

The day of the game we went to Cafe du Monde for breakfast. It was so good. We also went to Cabela's (kind of like Bass Pro Shops, but just has hunting stuff). They don't really have specialty stores like that in Italy, so they really enjoyed that store.

Tiger Stadium!

Kick-off! Even though we lost the game, it was still a good game!

I forgot to take a picture of it, but I also got to try Quail this weekend! I really liked it. Some of the men folk went hunting and shot Quail, and they grilled it up for dinner when we got back from NO. We also had some tasty pasta, John's relatives actually own a restaurant in Italy and they made dinner for us!!!
