My wife retired and hopped on my truck to see some of the country. We stopped in New Orleans last Thursday, and after another wonderful meal, we are waiting to load out to the frozen wastes of Wisconsin..

It aint just about food, its also about Jazz.
History too.
Madam Marie Laveaus (The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans) reputed burial site.
Revolutionary War Veteran Francois de Verges de St Sauveur buried in the Villere Family Tomb
We were pleasantly surprised to find this was the weekend the parades started.
Drinking may also have occurred..
Thanks for looking.
