New Orleans

Karan and I made our first visit to the  city of New Orleans. It was Halloween night and we went to the French Quarters. It is as wild and amazing as we thought. Lots of people in costumes, music and a real party atmosphere. We did a tour of the French Quarters, had dinner of gumbo and turtle soup and I got an alligator head for my collection of unusual things.








The next day we drove to LaFitte, LA just south of New Orleans and went on an airboat into the bayou. We saw alligators, turtles, deer and a variety of birds. It was a must do thing if you go to this area.
We then drove by several plantations on the Mississippi. Karan toured the Laura plantation.
