Sweet New Orleans

6^th of July

A typical New Orleans building

After 564 kilometers in the car we have finally reached New Orleans in Louisiana! The weather’s great, around 27   ̊C. The time is now 5 PM and we’ve just checked in at our hotel Parc St. Charles. I don’t think that anyone of us wants to go out and look for a restaurant right now, so we’ll probably eat at the hotel. Our plan for tomorrow is to take us to Jackson Square to look at the statue of Andrew Jackson who was a president in the US between 1829 and 1837. We also want to visit the French Market and maybe buy some ice-cream, Nathalie has been going on and on about buying ice-cream for like three days now! We have also heard about a museum called “National World War II Museum” that should be really interesting. We also want to ride the steamboat! But I think that the museum and the steamboat is better to do the day after tomorrow, since the weather will be slightly better tomorrow.
 

Snug Harbor

What Louise and Rebecka really want to do tomorrow night is to go to a place called “The Snug Harbor”, which is a restaurant and a jazz club with two shows each night.  Since New Orleans is the home of jazz, we feel that the jazz music is something that we have to experience!
We also think that we’re going to take a look at the Super Bowl arena, the one that they evacuated a lot of people to after Katrina.

How New Orleans looked after Katrina

But now we really got to get something to eat, we’re starving! We’ll be updating more tomorrow! Take care!
