The Morning After

Last night we decided to check out Bourbon Street. We went to several bars and tried some local cocktails. I found out that most of the cocktails are secret recipes, so they would not tell us what was in them.

We spent most of our night in a bar called the Tropical Isle, which had some wonderful proprietary mixes. The best part of these is that we got to keep the glasses; one was a grenade with a long neck, and the other a very cool alligator with sunglasses. While at the bar, we played a bar game where we had to throw a small hand grenade into a basket hanging from the ceiling.

I got a few from up close, but my crowning achievement was getting one in from halfway across the bar.

We met some nice people at the bar and the band that was playing was really nice and took our requests for Cat Stevens. Though they sadly did not know "The Night That Patty Murphy Died".

We have two more days in New Orleans, then on the morning of the third day look for us to the east as we will be cutting towards the west from New Orleans to Houston.
