New Orleans, Wow.

Made it here today and went for a walk around the French Quarter. This place is pretty damn cool. Lots of really old buildings all with balconies over looking the streets. Tons of cool little shops that sell all sorts of strange crap. It really reminded me a lot of the Country Fair in Oregon but more frat boyish and less hippie. Today was the French Quarter festival which didn't seem all that fratboyish. I loved how you could walk up to a storefront and get a beer in a plastic cup and cruise around and check stuff out. There were bands playing in the streets and such. Bet this place gets crazy at night. We will see.
