New Orleans - wow - a spectacularly, crazy, decadent visit!
We checked into the W Downtown and was greeted by a Belvedere party in the lobby. Our timing was impecable. The International Bar and Liquor Convention was in town this weekend. Free tastings, drink parties, and cuuuute bar boys (hi Matti) all over. In addition, Bourbon street was popping with Bastille Day celebrations.
We were in awe for days. Live music pouring out into the street. Southern gentlemen in bowties and sear suckers greeted us in front of Galatoire’s. (Thanks Andrew Stone for inviting us to Lander’s mega mansion pool party uptown.) Seafood in all shapes and boiles, but all in the same cheap price-range pleased our palets. After our Alabama “gourmet” fare this was a tantalizing experience.
Kjersti snapped a gazillion beautiful photos, Katarina did a lot of interviews, Bianca chatted with the entire population, Helena charmed with her European accent [it's daaajkiris - not daiquiries] and Jackie arrived from New York joining the girls.
These photos document our experiences. Add 105 degrees of hot voodoo magic and you’ll get closer to the true ambiance. New Orleans - we will be back soon!
Proud mother and daughter. If you got it please don’t flaunt it.
Dixeland playing Steam Boat Willie. A bit dirty. A bit amazing.
We have beads! Come on show us what you’ve got.
Streets are full of characters…
If you misbehave you will be arrested. Or if you misplease the NOPD.
Group shot…awww.
Oldest house in New Orleans. Used to belong to a blacksmith. Now a rowdy bar.
Cool cats and hats…
Riding the trolley. A throwback to simpler, pleasant times.
Steam boat ride on the Mississippi river at sunset…
Bianca steered the 220 foot long boat into the harbour. Whooohoo! Thanks Captain Brian.
Seacreatures beware. Girls can eat.
And we can party old-school too!
But we draw the line here. Hmm this “lady” was just a bit too desperate for our taste.
We make men earn our beads not the other way around.
“like they do it on Discovery channel.” Even bugs get busy in New Orleans.
Hertz. Leaving for Texas. Come on Hertz. Sad to go. Eghhhh comon Hertz get it together.
Stay tuned for Texas update. Everything is suposedly bigger there… and we are on a mission to find out.
