Hi Mystic,  just loved the piccies.  I just loved New Orleans.  Went there about 27 years ago.  Looking at all the photos has brought back a lot of memories,  Bourbon Street,all the jazz,  Pat O'Brians (dont know if that is still there)  going on the paddle steamer Natchez.  Eating jambali and file gumbo outside a fab resteraunt  with trees covered in Spanish moss.  Sighhhh  such a lovely place.  Have to say that Mardi Gras piccie number 16 deffo gets my vote. :-*  Shame about number 6 did you really have to put that one in, that was below the belt ;D :P

 ;D N0 6 below the belt  ;D  Excellent..not nice pic though  :( Bit spotty  ;)

Did you see the one with the guys dressed in spanish moss?  Mardi Gras 3 - there was none left on the trees in the park, but they looked great.

Pat O'Briens is still there, and still as popular, and Bourbon street is the maddest place I've ever been...

I got a cuddle of Mr No 16 - he was gay and he was ALL man  ;D

Fantastic photos. Love the buildings in New Orleans - so colourful and cheery. I remember the cemetary in Easy Rider (must watch that again soon).

Have avoid the chaps ones, though, as I'm at work.

But I used to have a pair of chaps like that - threw them out because they fell to pieces due to overuse!

The food was FAB sam, and I'm 3/4 stone heavier to prove it...

Fresh oysters and shrimp were just amazing, and the jambalaya there is v v yummy - I brought back some jambalaya seasoning so I can have a bash meself.

Best thing in world is their fave desert is....bread pudding!!!  Just like me mum makes.

Am now fat person and must stop enthusing about food - but if you like seafood and spices, N'Awlins is for you  ;D

the dirtiest thing about my chaps pic is the horse pooh stains! (legitimate chaps really - always wore jodhpurs and undies under them - hence the disappointment). I did get some rather strange looks, though, when I wore them with my beige jodhpurs!

You are so Lemon Squeezy, MM. I'll give that a go after I finish off sowing the onion, lettuce and sweatpeas. Cheers.
