Gettin' it in.

I found New Orleans had a vast array of delicious goodforyou food. 
So, being the food lover I am, I took complete advantage of the situation. 
 Here is SOME of the cuisine that was fortunate enough to be photographed:
 This was a place featured on diners, drive-ins and dives.  The two photos above it was what we ate there. So good.
 I cannot get over the coffee in New Orleans. I still wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats.  I may have a slight problem. 
 Cooking presentation :) 
 On-the-go
 Never had a chance. 
And on rare occasion there was an intoxicated Ang.

Tourists


One of the things we did in New Orleans was take a guided tour of the city.  I try and not to be a complete tourist when I go to new cities, but some things are necessary and enable you to appreciate the city you are visiting even more. The guided bus tour of New Orleans was extremely informative and I got to see some of the highlights of the city. 

 Destruction from Hurricane Katrina. 
Brought tears to my eyes. 
 The cemeteries were insane. People (and their families) are buried above ground due to flooding.
Lower income families are buried in places like this. 
This, I was told, is where the term "shafted" came from.  
You get put in...and then eventually your remains get pushed down the shaft. 
Loving every minute.
