Later that day we toured the Garden District, full of antebellum mansions, beautiful parks, and unique cemeteries.
For my birthday dinner we went to Restaurant August. Joe had a ribeye steak, complete with the entire rib bone, and I got a special message on my dessert plate.


We spent a lot of time walking around the French Quarter, where balcony gardens seem to be mandatory.
We also took a walking tour of some historic bars where the famous cocktails were invented. Here we are drinking a Pimm's Cup at The Court of the Two Sisters.

And some traditional absinthe at a bar where everyone was dressed like pirates.

And of course hurricanes at Pat O'Brien's.

And the Mississippi River
