World War 11 Museum.

Thanks! Yep Bill we are headed to Lighthouse point this weekend for the show. Will you be down @BIH this weekend?

We are only here till Wed. We are flying out Wed night. Weather so far has not been too bad. That rain last weekend was unreal. Some parts of LA got over 8" of rain, unbelievable.

WW II Museum sounds neat I will have to check it out.

Had. Muffalata, Shrimp Po Boy @Deanie's Seafood and grilled oysters which were outstanding, Steak @Dickie Brenan's, Cafe Du Monde Biengets, Hurricanes @Pat O'Brian's, LOL Bourbon St is something else.

Overall I am really liking the French Quarter. Neat shops and some really strange ones too.

Going out to a Jazz club tonight. I am going to need to de-tox this week after these past few days.

Lake Pounchatrain is huge. I can't believe how big it is. I was amazed at the bridge crossing it when we were landing.

All the folks down here have been pretty friendly. Which takes me by surprise being a northerner in a big city like New Orleans I don't expect that.

I know it's not "Cajun" and all but this: http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/57/1557319/restaurant/French-Quarter/Camellia-Grill-New-Orleans is my favorite place to eat down there.

First thing you need to do is learn how to say 'NAAWLINS'

For chrissakes stop saying New Orleens (I know you do).

It's NewOrlins.

Or, like dicor says NAWLINS. If you want to be really cool.

Yea Tom, we are coming in to Harbor View Marina on Friday morning and staying until Monday afternoon. Harbor View is on the west side, the one with the famous Tiki Bar…. Which I regularly frequent!

Have fun down there!

Well at the airport in my way out. Had a great time and the French Quarter was really neat.

Stayed at the Hotel Mazarin and it was wonderful. Staff, accommodations, and service truly exceeded my expectations.
