4 days away....it was so fun, exciting, interesting, and all New (Orleans)! Pretty clever intro, hehe!
TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart and I took a belated 35 anniversary trip for some R&R to a place known for it's laid back ways. We ate, took in the sights, ate, walked some more, ate, and then ate again. TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart loves raw oysters so he had a few dozen of those plus, crab cakes and scallops for his other seafood selections. I had shrimp and redfish for my seafood meals. We took a walking tour of the French Quarter, the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetary. But the very best part was the cafe au lait (made with ground chicory root) and beignets at Cafe du Monde! Oh little pillows of heaven, with their powdered sugar coating. We went to Cafe du Monde all three days we were there, at various times, first time mid-afternoon, then late afternoon and late evening on our last night. All times it was busy, and almost magical on that last evening! The weather even cooperated, we had sunny to partly sunny with the temps getting a little warmer each day. Rain was moving in as we were making our way to the airport to return home and staying for several days thereafter. So our time in The Big Easy was perfect and just a bit magical dusted with powdered sugar!!
