First Day in New Orleans

Got in to NO yesterday and our campground is very nice and located adjacent to the French Quarter. In fact the name is the French Quarter RV Resort.We took a long stroll thru the quarter and thru the market place. We both like jazz and asked where to go. We were given a place where the locals go called Snug Harbor. We had dinner and went to a hour and a half jazz show that was great. The namesake of the trio played the big bass. That was the first time we had seen the bass be the lead instrument. The leader had written all the songs. There were no vocals just good jazz. The place was famous for their burgers so you know..." when in Rome". We met a couple from Baton Rouge ( about an hour and half away) who said they come regularly and verified it was the best place in NO for jazz. Everyone advised to stay away from Bourbon Street because of all thr rowdies.

Tonight we have reservations for the dinner cruise and tomorrow have plans for the tour which will include post Katrina areas and the mansion of Archie Manning where the famous quarterbacks grew up.

Our campground has an area where they put the Prevost coaches. We are behind them in the section with normal folk and fifth wheels. Don't know why (lol) . Still very blessed!

Continue to pray for us! It works. Over 500 miles and no more wrecks!
