The Big Easy

Linda and I arrived at New Orleans yesterday. I am here for a conference and Linda came with me for company. I don't really know at all how to even start describing this city for those that have not been here. The street outside is lined with palm trees and it is hot and humid. I somehow wasn't expecting it to be so tropical, but as was pointed out to me we are on the gulf of mexico.. Our hotel is right on one of the ends of bourbon street in the French Quarters. We went out last night and I never expected it to be such a party. The streets and bars are full of people drinking, partying and what-not.. Balconies are full of people throwing beads. It is a crazy party here. We were a bit overwhelmed and actually went back to the hotel early Saturday night. It was a bit too crazy for us. We are going to head out again tonight. Wish us luck and I will post photos soon.
