First day in the French Qtarter

We basically walked around all day in the French Quarter. Dav used to live here - it was his first "city" experience out of NC as a young lad. Many good memories, so we poked around his old haunts.

Had a fantastic brunch buffet - shrimp, crawfish, fruit, sausages, jambalaya, and the best bread pudding I've ever had. Cost us $70 (!!) but it was in a gorgeous courtyard. Found a cool antique shop, and purchased awesome matching Russian hats (3rd pic), and Dav got another hat of who knows what origin (anyone??) along with the best Burning Man goggles ever.

Had freshly made lemonade, and enjoyed the perfect weather. Hot enough to relax and leave extra layers at home, with a touch of humidity, which I like. Problem is, I can't walk so much, so after a few hours, my back was killing me. I kept having to stretch, and have Dav go for a beer somewhere so I could sit (and pee).

Wedding is tonight in a few hours...
