What a lazy day!
It was almost 10:00 before we got up, and we then didn’t leave until almost noon. Our first destination was Antoine’s for the jazz brunch.
Kelly had a pork chop with potatoes, all covered in an apple sauce, and I the eggs benedict (pictured-already in progress of being devoured). There was a trio (bass, guitar, vocal) playing jazz standards. Wonderful food-good entertainment.
Most of the rest of the day was spent either walking around or napping.
At supper time we went out to cross a couple of our “must dos” off the list. First, a hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s. It is a good drink, and they certainly don’t skimp on the rum!
What better way to work off the buzz, than to head over to the voodoo shop! Lot’s of weird stuff, and I think the staff there take it a lot more seriously than most of their customers.
We next caught a blues/rock band at the Funky Pirate bar. Mark and the Pentones did a nice job.
After a long walk back, we found a hole-in-the-wall gyro place hidden next to our hotel. Holy grease bomb, Batman!
An early night tonight, but we have big plans for tomorrow.
