Armed with my tour guide aka my husband and his credit card, I bravely walked down Bourbon Street... where Mardi Gras was made famous because of different colored beads and boobs flashing.
It was not even 5 o'clock and the street was packed with people, street performers, people trying to lure you into their bar and strippers. Yes, in broad daylight! We walked aimlessly trying to find a bar we'd like. It's weird how most of the people there were doing the same thing. Although, the bars were full of people as well. Different kinds of music blasted from each establishment. Ranging from Nicki Minaj to the famous Louisiana blues.
There was a variety of people as well. From a group of young women scantily clad to an old man using a walker to get around. Everyone seemed to have drinks in their hand. My guess was they were mostly tourist because they look lost just like we were. We settled for a mellow blues bar where drinks were expensive and entertainment was superb.
It was fun to see this part of the country. Learned about the bayou, civil war and Republicans. Rick is a very good travel companion. He's like the walking Wikipedia without the need for WIFI. Seeing the bridge that is very long was quite interesting too. It's very long you can't even see the other side!
Would I recommend this place? Absolutely! One should learn and experience other cultures. Best to go with a bunch of friends though. It's not a good place for honeymooners because it's a place to party! Rick and I both agreed on this.
