NOLA (and etc...)

We are back from our big hoopla of a vaca in the Big Easy.  It was marvelous, but we are TIRED.  They say NYC is the city that never sleeps?  I think New Orleans has one upped that.  I swear that place is just non-stop.  Thank goodness we only had to work 3 days this past week.  We've done nothing but recuperate over the weekend.  Oh, and did I mention the food?  We stuffed ourselves silly, so along with the much needed rest, I am on a Clif bars/apples/cereal diet for the next several days.  I am also only wearing empire waist dresses.

We stayed right on Bourbon Street (at the Bourbon Orleans) which made for some very interesting people watching.  Our hotel had a bar that faced Bourbon so we would just sit down there at night by the big windows and watch drunks people stumble walk down the street. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.

We spent a lot of time in the Bourbon O...our hotel bar
