The Big Easy, Part Deux

and now for the second instalment of pics

this is one of the classic jazz preserves, right in the heart of the madness that reigns on Bourbon Street


still on Bourbon Street, among the numerous live bands that play every night, there's Big Al & The Blues Masters playing at The Funky Pirate (and yes, Big Al is really big!)


here's a plate of spicy Cajun crawfish, the local speciality.. shell and eat the tail, suck the heads!


and you can't leave before you eat another staple.. seafood gumbo! the one at Coop's Place is jazzed up some with rabbit and sausage too


here we're feeding an alligator, but they made some good eating too.. diced up and stir-fried with Creole seasoning. even better tasting than crocodile i felt!

The Big Easy, Part Une

"Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

yes, let the good times roll, as i bring you pics of New Orleans..

here's sunrise over the Mississippi, as it winds its way down to the deltas and the Gulf of Mexico


this is the India House hostel, where we stayed


the tram.. a novelty, slow yet fun to ride


going down to the swamps, serene by day, nightmarish by night.. what demons, ghouls and beasts haunt these seemingly placid waters?


the sun sets over this busy bustling port city

yup, still here

got back from New Orleans on Sunday, and dived straight back into the deep end. i had an absolutely awesome time, as the pics i will post soon shall attest. as will all the stories. some of them at least, heh!

will upload the pics and type out a few posts soon.. hang in there

spring break baby!

yes, i'm off for spring break! i'm using my one week of vacation from work to go down to The Big Easy, aka New Orleans! we're gonna eat, drink and make merry in Nawlins, hang out with all the nekkid boobies on Bourbon Street, haunt with the ghosts in the French Quarter.. see you when i get back!
