Night one here was crazy a few pics. Enjoyed watching amy make an ass out of herself and was so happy she too fell in love with this city.
Mint Julip for Chulip!
Day 3 in new orleans-We are here and I will be sad to leave tomorrow but also look forward to seeing new things again. It has been nice being out of the car for 3 days and sleeping in!! Awoke this morning to pigees on the balcony and headed down to get beignetes for breakfast then out to the swamps to take a boat tour!!! Spooky!!
It was hot as hell, humid as fuck, and the gators were out in full force. Before boarding the tour boat I got my arm and leg bitten off, turns out gators like sweating women with a lot of fat, not too much muscle here!!
Our tour guide was funny and very smart, steps above Ger when he worked the jungle cruise. We saw spiders, turtles, gators, egrets, snapping turtles, garp, and for the grandest of al held a baby alligator!!! They are so soft and smooth, not at all like I imagined, also very cold.
I also added a photo of an alligator who had swallowed an entire human, the picture is so awesome, and they show it to you before you buy tickets and tell you to keep all body parts in the boat; too bad no flashing of me fanny!
After the tour we visited cemeterys
and also drove through the 9th ward where the levy "busted". It was so sad, like a ghost town. Only 1 out of every 10 homes was occupied, they are all still boarded up, run down, and those who remain live in shanties. Graffiti could be seen on homes indicating which were to be destroyed and also slogans of 'thanks for not helping us' and 'you forgot about us again' decorated walls. I felt bad taking pics, though we did get some video of where the levy actually broke open, I cannot believe more people didnt die..
Last night, we are going to do it right!!! Got lots of cool things for all you guys so far..
I am going to get some booze,
Bec
