Wow, New Orleans certainly is a unique city. It took us about 12 hours to get here, and when we did we were a little bit worried. We had reservations at a hostel, and it confirmed everything I ever feared about hostels in America so needless to say we call the Holiday Inn Express and booked a night there. It ended up being absolutely perfect though, because the hotel was inexpensive and was located only about 3 blocks away from Bourbon Street. We both loved this strip of stores, restaurants, and bars. For dinner we ate some authentic Gumbo soup and Jambalaya- spicy and delicious! People are crazy here too... we saw some interesting things... people riding the fake bull was probably one of the funniest things I've seen though. What a great city!!
Now, we are heading to Cafe du Monde on our way out to get some coffee and beignets, native to this city. From there, we are off to Round Rock, TX to stay with family! We will write more later, but again... so far so good!
We are still working on the photo album, and we added our "total counts" on the side which keeps our long rides a little more interesting.
