Getting ready to leave New Orleans and head down the Gulf Coast. Thought I'd hit the highlights with this post and you can ask me for the back stories in person.
Top Ten Things I Learned In New Orleans:
1. The French Quarter smells largely like stale beer and old vomit.
2. The Gumbo Shop has delicious food and we had a fabulous meal there.
3. It is hard to hold onto a fabulous meal when walking streets that smell like stale beer and old vomit.
4. While I often think of Ed as the friend who reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite he apparently looks to some men in New Orleans like my PIMP!
5. I do not like to drink when I feel I need to have my wits about me and in New Orleans I felt that need. Thus, I did not drink.
6. While I have been looking into new career choices stripping was not one of them. But here in New Orleans, once again Ed, not I, was approached by an establishment that I should go down that path.
7. The cemetery here is no different than an old cemetery anywhere else. Except maybe that odd feeling that you could get mugged at any moment.
8. Our hotel was very nice.
9. Mapquest and Google do not care if you walk or drive through rough neighborhoods.
10. I do not feel the need to return here.

I think the guys laying unconscious in the gutter actually found a way to bottle that perticular fragrance for their aftershave. I too liken it to a mix of vomit, urine and the 5' of garbage piled up each night "aging" in the morning sun ! You don't see Emerril advertising that aspect of "his" New Orleans now do you? Gives a whole new meaning to when he says "BAM" 'cause that's exactly the impact that smell has.
