Woke up to our last morning in New Orleans. No walk into the French Quarter today but
drove toward Audobon Park and Tulane University through the Garden
District. Oh my there are some
spectacular homes all along St. Charles Avenue.
We finally found where the trolley ran,
Walked around the park for a bit and then through the campus which is
also right next to Loyola. Both nice
campuses but Loyolas buildings were more beautiful. We then drove back to the Parkway and had an
alligator Po’ Boy, another delicious new food.
Drove toward Baton Rouge (Red
Stick) and stopped again at a Starbuck’s to blog and drink my favorite
beverage. Drove to downtown for a band
that was playing and had some dinner and then off to LSU to check out the
tailgaters that had already arrived.
They can park their motor homes starting at 6:30 in the morning on
Friday and have to be out on Sunday. A
lot come and never go to the game but party and cook and drink all
weekend. We met 3 groups of really nice
people who all invited us back tomorrow for food and beverage. We went to see Mike the Tiger in his 3
million dollar habitat. He was out
pacing, going in the water and posing for pictures. Hopefully we will see him at the game. He doesn’t go if he doesn’t want to get in
his cage! One lady we met says she wants
to come back as Mike the Tiger in her next life as he is the most pampered
creature around. These people are so
amazingly nice down here and one guy said football is a religion in
Louisiana. I think I agree from what we
have seen. Back to Howard and Jean’s for
conversation and sleep.
