...con't....
We came back from the bayou tour and decided to hit Bourbon Street, which was really close for us, just one block N of where we were. We were walking around aimlessly, when we spotted a bar playing some good rock 'n roll and while peeking through the doors, they had this really neat courtyard that we could hang out in, so into Razzoo we walked. We were lucky to be walking when we left, LOL. Happy hour is all day, every day, until 9pm. 3 beers for the price of 1. I started off with a 32oz Margarita. I did not KNOW it was a 32 oz drink when I ordered it, but I finished it nonetheless. Several of the barmaids had offered us jello shots or test tube shots. I think John might have had one......I can't recall. Anyway...... I had booked a Crescent City Night tour that had included dinner, a cocktail at a jazz cafe and beignets, for our anniversary, so we went there, quite tipsy (for me anyway) by 5:45pm.
When we arrived, John was teasing me, as we were the youngest guests, by far. We ALWAYS get ourselves involved in something like this when we go away. But, we make the best of it. There was a group of 8 ladies from Wisconsin who were celebrating someone's 60th, a couple of ladies from Wisconsin who were QUITE odd, and 2 couples from Missouri who were nice enough.
By the time we walked to dinner and got seated, and had some fresh bread, my tipsiness was wearing off, pshew..... Dinner was at Tujaque's I had their specialty, Boiled Beef, which was just like corned beef, and John had some crawfish dish. I really like the bread pudding in a caramel sauce that was served after dinner. Then we walked to the CanCan Jazz Cafe. There was a jazz band there, and we all were allowed one free drink. That was nice, but I would have left after one song. That kind of music all sounds the same to me. By the time we got to Cafe Du Monde for our Cafe Au Lait and Beignets, I was beat. We had one beignet each and decided to walk home, rather than wait for our free taxi. I think we were in bed by 10pm. While walking through the Quarter that night, we saw all kinds of *neat* stuff. Voodoo people in the park, female impersonators, bead throwers and catchers (no flashers), people in odd clothing, naked clubs, etc...John kept trying for me to see what one was all about, especially Larry Flynt's place, but truly I had NO interest in wasting time there :-)
Friday, we decided to explore the French Market We bought some souveniers here, including alligator heads for the boys. We then walked all along the riverfront until we got to Harrah's Casino. We went to go in, but I did not have an ID with me and I just told John to forget it. So, we ended up at the D-Day Museum. That was an emotional visit. I teared up right in the beginning as I was perusing through a guestbook, that was signed by veterans. Oddly enough, historian, Stephen Ambrose died that Sunday, when we were returning from our trip. We had watched a presentation by him and Stephen Spielberg during our museum tour.
I think for dinner that night, we went back to the oyster bar for more po-boys. I'm tellin' you, they were THAT good!! After that, we headed back out to our favorite hangout, Razzoo. I had a beer, then we left to check out the Cat's Meow (ha......there is a karaoke cam there!! I stood at that window under the word CATS), but came back and I decided to go light, with a wine spritzer, and you guessed it, it was a 32 oz spritzer. Totally defeated the purpose, LOL During our trip, I heard enough of disco (To Be Real......(which I am watching on the cam right now)), Bobby Brown, Ja Rule and Nelly, for a long time.......
Next morning, we decided to hit SwampFest at the Audubon Zoo. That was fun listening to Zydeco, seeing all the crafts and vendors, and the whole slew of food stands. We took a streetcar to get there and back, and that was another fun experience. For dinner, we dined on a balcony on Bourbon Street and then hit........RAZZOO's again!!
teeny bit more to come...... ;-)
