The First Day

We made it to New Orleans!! By the time we actually got settled in, it was about 6:30 p.m. We soon ventured out into the balmy night in the French Quarter. It was wonderful to feel the heat after our rainy, cold weather last week in Seattle. We walked a block and found a great place to eat. We all had traditional Southern/Cajun food, so I am sure you all would be proud. It was all very yummy!
We eventually made our way to Bourbon Street to check out the festivities for the BCS Championship football game. Surprisingly, there were quite a few Ohio State fans (Bryan included). Things on Bourbon Street were crazy of course. What an adventure! It is a great spot for people watching. Folks of all ages were there dancing in the streets and yelling at the top of their lungs for their chosen team. The energy was palpable. Unfortunately, we called it a night fairly early. We must remember we are here to work!
