The Creole Culture

Following our epic "breakfast" this morning, we wondered how we could have possibly topped it. Having just come back from our very first creole experience at a nearby oyster bar called Desire, we barely have the capacity or energy to wonder at all.

Our meal consisted of shrimp, catfish, crawfish, calamari, mussels and clams, followed by what the locals call a Po-Boy and some shrimp and crawfish Alfredo.

Earlier we explored more of the city. We followed Bourbon street east from our hotel, frequenting voodoo shops, book stores and various other local places. We made our way past the Louisiana court houses down to the Moon Walk. From here we saw our first glimpse of the mighty Mississippi river littered with steam boats in muddy waters. Thank goodness the oil hasn't traveled up this far.
