Drinks and appetizers at a new place, Royal House on the corner of Royal and St. Louis, was one of our best meals in NOLA ever. Suggested by our concierge, its right across the street.

Open air table was great for people watching.

We saw a protest march.

I had oysters on the shell, (not raw), for the first time. Cooked with butter, garlic and parmesan. Mmmmm

We walked for an hour or so, checked out the sights, bought a t-shirt and some voodoo dolls for friends at home.
  Then we popped into the Oceanna restaurant for dessert. Dan loved his pecan pie and Hurricane made from actual fruit juices instead of the powdered mix used at Pat O’briens. I was disappointed with my bread pudding and brandy milk punch. Neither was very tasty. Antoines bread pudding last yr is hard to beat.
We won’t go back…there are much better places to eat in New Orleans.
Tired, but delighted to be back, we head to the Omni for some sleep. Several good street musicians serenaded us on our way.
