Being in band for what seems like forever, I'm such a music lover. New Orleans is THE place for music. Everywhere you go there is jazz music playing; sometimes it's a recording and sometimes it's live! Plus the city life is just incredible.
Like any big city it's slightly terrifying, but extremely exciting. Walking down the street you get a glimpse of so many different walks of life. I saw a girl with multi-colored dreads, and a man looking woman who probably used to be a man at one point...or a woman...not so sure. We watched a guy perform magic tricks and witnessed a small parade that consisted of a tuba, trombone, and other brass instruments playing jazz music!
For dinner we ate at a small little cafe. It was called Cafe Pontalba and the food was SO good. It looked like a literal hole in the wall - all of the walls were like open doors. We sat at a little corner table, and I got the seat that was like right up against the "open door/wall". From the cafe you had a perfect view of a little area of the French Quarter where there were street performers and whatnot. There was an awesome little brass group performing and I was seriously in awe. It was the best dinner entertainment ever!
At the cafe I ordered barbecue shrimp.... It was delicious, but they still had little heads..and legs..and eyeballs. I learned how to successfully peel a shrimp though so that's cool! And they were totally worth it because they were the best shrimp I've EVER had in my life. After dinner we went back to the hotel and scoped out the sauna, weight room, and pool/hottub area! It was a successful evening that is now coming to close. As our evening closes, Becca and I are enjoying some 5-star vending machine grub and some hip tunes. Here's some pictures of my day!
xoxo, Liv
