The French Quarters

Never in history has such words been spoke , so I will the the first and only... The French finally saved something! New Orleans was low on my list until I spent the day I the French Quarters. The buildings are beautiful, the air smells of food, plants and pastries. People seem to be generally kinder as well. There is more history to read, more statues and gardens to enjoy. I would recommend this to be the first (and possibly only) place to explore in the city. Of course there are always people out to scam tourists, so do not shake hands with anyone that talks about shoes. They are normally dirty and unhygienic anyhow.

My number one suggestion for this entire city, do NOT drive. People are walking drunk. Drivers are idiots and the roads make Incan foot trails look like paved high ways. Save the head ache and buy a day pass for the busses and trollies.

This ends the short journey in New Orleans. For those keeping count, I did not explore the third day. After eating bad eggs at 2am, I opted to lay on the couch and not vomit all over the town... although depending on the area, no one may have noticed.

To Hawaii!
