Reason #3 New Orleans is worth a visit is enjoying the city with my husband. Okay, maybe you can't enjoy it with MY husband but I'm sure you can find someone to do the following with...
Sample and then buy a praline- now before you get carried away and mispronounce this word, praline, let me tell you how it should sound. Praaaa (think of opening your mouth up for the doctor) lean. We double checked with the locals and sure enough there is no 'y' is praline (pra-lean).
But there is a lot of yumminess in them.
Ride the streetcar. Make sure you don't call it a trolley- those are in San Francisco. Here in the south they call them streetcars. For $3 you can get an all day pass and ride all over, a great way to see and experience the city. And I promise it isn't just for tourists. We saw several people use it for their transportation to work.
And last, but certainly not least, you really have to walk the streets to get the right vibe. Artists, music, food, people, shops, history and architecture all can be found on the streets, streets that only a crazy person would try to drive.
Hoping you find someone to share the city with!
We're in! :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet those were excellent walks...was it busier in the evenings when it gets cooler? Or I suppose it is still pretty cool during the day so it doesn't matter yet. It sounds like a wonderful little vacation. Glad you both enjoyed yourselves.
