Day 45 – Fifth Rest Day

I spent this day with a combination of doing errands and sightseeing around the French Quarter.

On the errands side, I got a haircut, did some laundry, and charged my electronics. Not too exciting.

But I had plenty of time to walk around the French Quarter. New Orleans is still a city like no other. The weather cooperated and the high got to 70 and sunny.

I also did my share of touristy New Orleans eating today. I had the Beignets at Cafe Du Monde. Then I had my favorite sandwich, the Muffuletta, at Central Grocery and Deli. That’s where the Muffuletta was created in the early 1900’s. Of interest, Central Grocery was destroyed during Hurricane Ida 3-4 years ago. They had to rebuild the store and reopened less than a year ago. Finally, we went to Deanie’s Seafood for dinner. I had the crawfish quartet with crawfish bisque, crawfish ettoufee, fried crawfish, and crawfish balls (which were kind of like crab cakes). I’ve had my fill of New Orleans cuisine.

I’ll let the pictures tell the story of a few things I saw while sightseeing today.
