After a brief stop in Meridian Mississippi, we are refuelled and re-energized. Indulging in Kei$a songs (my guilty pleasure), and with Adrian typing as my proxy, we are anxiously awaiting our arrival in New Orleans.
Tomorrow we embark on a new adventure; one with considerably less windshield time.
The exploration of the French Quarter in New Orleans is something I’ve been looking forward to for the majority of my adult life. More recently, however, my attention has been drawn to New Orleans due to the BP oil spill. Having covered this event over the last two t three months at The Court, I’m excited to find myself at the front lines of the spill.
Investigative journalism aside, our tentative plan for when we reach New Orleans is to settle in and hit up a couple of late night cafés, regardless of the fact that we will be arriving into town around 3 am.
Our impasse of sorts is whether to go down to Bourbon Street tonight (a incredibly tempting offer), or wait until tomorrow when we are well rested and can properly soak in the atmosphere. This is of course bypassing the very important and relevant issue of whether we will be in any fit state to leave the hotel room once we have settled in.
For those here who are truly interested, you may be intrigued to find that the next exciting blog post will likely (though not certainly), unveil whether or not we braved the streets of New Orleans this night.
More picture and videos are soon to come.
Coming to you from interstate 59 approximately 235 km outside of New Orleans this is Alex M and the Crew with the latest trip news.
P.S. I like your beard
