New Orleans Night Life

 So arrived at the KOA early yesterday. Got settled in took Willow for a long walk then we took the park shuttle into town. The shuttle goes in twice a day 9 and 5. We took the 5 in. The driver was great he gives you kinda a min tour with LA history.  This is a pic of a street band in the french quarter. The French Quarter is about a 10 block area. Its very touristy but wild. There are street bands, jazz and blue clubs everywhere. As well as great restaurants. There are some of the greatest chefs in the world here.  I had my usual craw fish something. I love craw fish. Last night it was in a caujan
 sauce with Penna. WONDERFUL.
You can drink on the streets. When you order a drink they give it to you in a to go cup. They have drive through daquair (sp) bars.
This second pic is the oldest building and bar in the French quarter. It has survived two fires. The inside is dark with uneven floors and usually packed. 
The architecture is unbelievable  

This was a street artist she stands still until someone puts money in her bucket then she bows.  

Just more pictures of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter In the center of the FQ there is a park that has a 6 ft fence around it. Artist display their work. Street bands play.

 I love music as most of you know. Around 830 all the bars have some kind of jazz or blues. You just wonder round listening to the different kinds of music. We found this bar the Funky Pirate Blues Bar. This guy Big Al (450 lbs) plays there on a regular basis. He was great. We really had a great time. Was a great night.
Will catch up in the am on today's activities. 
I'm sitting outside and my battery on my laptop is getting low. Had a great day. Think we are going to stay for a few more days. So much to see and do. Thinking about everyone and hope all is well.
