First Trip to New Orleans

Mr. M and I went to New Orleans for the first time. We had a really great time while there. We ate sooo much while we were there. We decided to try a cup of gumbo everwhere we stopped to eat. By far the best we had was at Acme Oyster House. We were told they had the best oysters, Mr. M likes them not me, so we tried it on our first day there. We took lots of pictures and these are just a few.

Of course the buildings are just beautiful

We're not sure why they call Vegas "Sin City" cause there were sooo many titty bars it was unbelievable. I guess so all the drunk dirty men have something to do.

I thought this sign was funny, so had to take it.

We did have one night of drinking. Bourbon Street is by far the place to be.

This is one of the places we stopped to have a few drinks. I had found it on the internet so it was definitely a "must stop". They claim it is one of the oldest bars in the United States. Very cool, no lights just candle lighting.

Neon Signs everywhere.

Even Hot Dog Stands! Not as good as the ones in New York City though. :-)

This is in Jackson Square. That's the St. Louis Church in the back with a statue of Major General Andrew Jackson in the front.

While we were there we took a Cemetery-VooDoo Tour.

Just some really cool stories about how they kept trying to figure the correct way to keep the dead people buried.

This is the oldest grave there.

And this is the main attraction. The grave of Marie Laveau, the VooDoo Queen.

You can see the "gifts" that people have left for her. We were told that if you made a wish and wrote three x's and then turned around three times she might make the wish come true. Supposedly you're supposed to come back and circle your x's if it did.... didn't see any circled.
