New Orleans

Some of go fishing for Redfish on the Texaco Canals near Lafitte on our first full day in New Orleans.

Our boat contains Kathy’s brother Tom, nephew Eric, Mike the guide, and the two of us.

We have some success, catching seven fish among us.

Dinner at the house of Kathy’s brother Bentley night one, dinner Thursday evening for 12 at Vincent’s Italian cuisine, and Chinese food for lunch at Dian Xin with Kathy’s brothers Tom and Greg, who are staying with us at the new Higgins Hotel next to the WW II Museum.

After lunch Friday we wandered around the French Quarter and down Bourbon Street. It looks just as seedy as ever.

The place is thronging with tourists and we’re enjoying ourselves.
