French Quarter - New Orleans

After we disembarked from the Norwegian Jewel, we took the airport shuttle bus and made our way to the rental cars, where we picked up our Honda.  We rented a room from a private party through Airbnb.com.  If you aren't familiar with Airbnb, it is a clearing house for people who wish to rent out a room in their home or complete house or apartment.  Here is the Airbnb link to Patrick's home.  It's perfect for us to relax and from which to visit the sites of the area.

We spent our first afternoon exploring the French Quarter.  Everyone is decorating and gearing up for Mardis Gras.

Great Music in the Park

Decked out for Mardi Gras

Russ and I met with SERVAS hosts Harvey and Grace for dinner and area tips on our first evening. We had a wonderful salad and fresh shrimp. Cuisine for the first day in the French Quarter at Patrick O'Brians included jumbalaya, gumbo, deep fried catfish, red beans and rice, and beer. In no time we'll be y'alling it!
