Louisiana Travelogue Pt. 1 - digg this
After a rather uneventful flight to Louisiana (most of which was spent reading Tishimingo Blues by Elmore Leonard) I decided that I really needed to swing by the French Quarter for just a bit since I landed in NO. I intend to spend a few hours there on Tuesday night so this was just a quicky. Of course I didn't realize that there was a Saints home game, so downtown was PACKED. Hit the link for some pics.

The architecture was fabulous of course and I snapped this because I loved the mix of old and new.
I found the House of Blues, which is one spot I want to hit on Tuesday. They're closed on Sunday.
I got this snap of an old fire station.
Of course all this walking and snapping made me thirsty.
Once I was done and got back to my car I drove to Baton Rouge. It was about an hour drive through some beautiful wetlands. My room is decent. Free wifi and cable combined with a cute kitchenette will make this situation livable for a few days. Tomorrow I go to our site in St. Gabriel. I look forward to it and tomorrow night I'll poke around BR and see what's what.
Cheers!

Those are some great pics. Be careful in the FQ at night though -- keep that head on a swivel, my friend.
Thanks! Not spending any time there much after dark you can trust that.
