kmusserNext up, another trip while working, this time to New Orleans and it'll be brief because I failed to take notes, but 6 days in total and staying in a rental in Algiers which is on the other side of the Mississippi River from downtown New Orleans. A ferry offers easy access to the French Quarter, but does stop running earlier than the bars close so we sometimes needed to Uber back. Highlight while in the city was Frenchman St., which is music central for the city these days, we did a walking tour to get oriented and then just enjoyed the music. We have a new favorite band in Water Seed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqBhk6UBkH0&ab_channel=WaterSeed), check them out if you get the opportunity.

Outside of the city we did some driving through the Bayou country of Louisiana, visiting a little museum in Houma, going for a hike at Mandalay wildlife refuge and looping down to the Gulf Coast, also stopping at a bizarro sculpture garden (https://www.nicholls.edu/folkartcenter/park.html). On another day we do one a swamp boat tour north of the city on the Old Pearl River which is also fun, we got to see alligators, and folks that live without a road connection to the rest of the world.
Also north of the city, thanks to Sam's friend Maria, we get invited to a genuine Cajun crawfish boil, and just wow, that is an experience not to pass up, definitely another highlight - also I get to cuddle with bunnies. Overall pretty laid back, Sam got to do a lot more touristy stuff since she wasn't spending the days working.
