I think the only reason John wanted to come to New Orleans is so he could eat! I guess he didn't get enough over the holidays!
We rolled into town on Monday, Jan 11 and found this great campground just 2 blocks from the French Quarters. Our first stop in town was Johnny's for gumbo and shrimp po'boy sandwiches! Melt in your mouth delicious!
For suppers we have eaten at Antoine's, Irene's, and Jagerhaus. Lunches and breaks at Napoleon House and Acme Oyster Bar. Tomorrow is Cafe Du Monde's for beignets and back to Johnny's for a great po'boy sandwich.
I played tour guide and made John walk all through the French Quarter with the AAA guide book. Today we hiked out to Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World where 80% of all the parade floats are made. Tomorrow we are going to explore the St. Louis #1 Cemetery. And of course, we had to wash the RV.
Got back from sightseeing this afternoon to discover wet carpet. Our water pump had sprung a leak. John was able to determine what part needed replacing but after several phone calls no luck. We did find a mobile repair service that will be here at dawn tomorrow for only $150, just for the mileage. Hopefully they will have no problems repairing the leak.
Sorry there are no pictures -- we kept forgetting to take the camera with us.

I'm glad you're blogging. You will help me to dream about warmer days. Tell John that we have increased minutes of daylight by 13 so far in January. That's very exciting.
The firm dates that we will be in Orlando are o2-o6 thru 02-12-10. We are getting ready to make some golf tee times for Disney courses. Do you want us to include the two of you in any of the times?
I know the food is wonderful in NO. Did you have the baked Alaska at Antoine's? Yum.
Later, Mickey
