New Orleans

Yes, New Orleans! I know it’s not one of the normal stops along the way for a sail boat but we are driving to Galveston TX to spend Christmas with our daughter and her family so why not stop in NOLA for a cafe au lair and a beignet (french doughnuts)!! It was a fun afternoon looking at beautiful architecture, street musicians and interesting shops. Yes, we walked along the water front and watched several barges go by and a cruise ship get underway. We never tire of watching boats on the water. The French Market was bustling and Cafe Du Monde ( the original Coffee shop from the 1860’s) was packed!  SO…..we enjoyed coffee and beignets and later for dinner we had crawfish étouffée.   Yummy cajun food!

And now we are off to Galveston TX for Christmas!!
