Winter 2017 Florida Trip–Post #3

On Monday, we left the state park at about 10:00am, and drove into town to tour the French Quarter.  Pretty much uneventful, if you neglect the wrong way drives on a couple of ONE WAY streets!!!

Here are some pictures as we walked in the old market area…..

We decided that the above was an effort to build a personal 5th wheel camper!!  It was a cool morning, so we stopped at the Cafe Dumont shop for beignets and hot chocolate.  They were really good!!

As we walked through the craft and flea market area, I suggested Ronnie that he get a custom Kleenex holder box, and he was fairly interested tin the one in the center in the picture below!!

However, he just walked away with the women…….

We then just walked around looking for Bourbon Street and admiring the shops and homes with their neat architecture.  The following should be titled “Angle over an Angel”

The  following are two ladies of the street than the two really nice gentlemen in the second picture helped get off the street!!!!!!!

Before heading back to the coaches, we drove over to the Riverwalk Mall, and a little more shopping.

We had noticed that a “Mulate’s” Cajun Restaurant just across the street from the parking lot.  After visiting the mall, we had LUPPER at Mulate’s about 3:00pm. 

After eating, we went back to the state park, and we planned to just have a snack for dinner…. tamales from Texas, nachos, and pecan pie, while we watched the Alabama and Clemson game.  Concurrently, I worked on getting this blog up to date!!

Tomorrow, the WW II museum in NOLA.
