"Nawlins"

Hi All

"Nawlins" that's local slang for New Orleans, see how quick I get it on with the locals!

We had a nice night Sunday, dinner on Bourbon Street then roamed up and down the Street, we listened to a live Jazz band and a few rock groups. We were a little dissapointed at the lack of Blues groups on Bourbon Street but maybe they are elsewhere as the French District is vast or else they come out to play after us oldies are well asleep.

Yesterday (Monday) we drove downdown and walked down Riverwalk to catch an original old steam paddleboat for a lunchtime harbour cruise on the "Mighty Mississippi River", very interesting commentary. After the cruise we walkled to the French Flee Market and purchased a few souvenir items. This was followed by an afternoon swim at the hotel, and a gourmet meal at a combined Taco Bell/KFC restaurant nearby complete with a fine vintage diet Pepsi!

So now it's off to Breakfast, load the car, set the GPS for Memphis because as Paul Simon sang "We're Going To Graceland, Graceland, We're Going To Graceland". Yeh Mon!

Cheers
