French Quarter

Day 92, New Orleans French Quarter

March 16, 2010 by Darlene 2 Comments

Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans hosts hundreds of years of history. From the St Louis Cathedral built in 1727 that looks down on the statue of General Andrew Jackson to Pirates Alley, directly behind it to the French Market, just up the street. Musicians and artists call Jackson Square home and put on nearly round the clock shows to delight your senses. Restaurants in the French Quarter are plentiful, but we recommend a certain specific few before heading out to Pat O’Brien’s for a hurricane or to Preservation Hall for classic jazz by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. As far as we’re concerned, this is where New Orleans began. It’s all been built and spread out from this central location. New Orleans comes alive in Jackson Square.

Day 91 New Orleans Plantations

on our first full day in New Orleans, we visited two plantations on River Road. The St Joseph plantation and the Laura plantation. Then dinner at Mothers of New Orleans and a walk through Bourbon Street where Rob tried Absinthe for the first time.

RV Travel Thoughts

Free Stuff .... sort of

You never know when your luck will draw to you free stuff along the road. 6 months, roughly 22 states and a smattering of Provinces puts a person in enough situations where free stuff, just seems to come your way. While we didn't play poker, we did put $5 into a nickle slot and win $104. That's free money in my books. In Tombstone, we walked into Big Nose Kate's, saddled up to the bar and are asked "would you like a margarita?" and were given a free drink. This happened again in Texas. We also got a free months electricity at an RV park that will remain nameless (wont say why either, and no we didn't "unplug and run")

Pee Before Driving Through Cities

When you're driving an RV, you travel with your toilet, but while the passenger has the luxury of peeing while you move, the driver does not. I've learned that before entering any city limits, it's a good idea to find a place to pull over and pee because while on the Interstate, there are no pull outs to be found. They say the human bladder can hold 18 oz or 1/2 a litre of fluid, but I would wager it to be a lot more.
