First night in New Orleans

We arrived late Friday night, and by the time we checked in, grabbed a bite to eat, and headed out to meet everyone, my friends were trashed. It was hilarious to see them. 3 of them are moms, and having left their kids back home, were out to party it up for sure. So funny.

We arrived at a bar just as they were lining up to get on a machine bull thing that simulates a bull ride. It looked dangerous for men with pretty intense thrashing around, but I was flabbergasted at what they did for women: gently giggle the thing like a vibrator, or sway them so they slide back and forth. Men watched this with glee, as it basically looked like each woman was holding on to a giant vibrator. And the women paid $5 for giving that show to the men! At least my friends had fun, but they were too drunk to notice the entertainment they were providing.

Then we walked around the French Quarter a bit. Jodi (who flew all the way from Switzerland for this occasion!) wanted a burger. So we hauled over to a joint, but by the time her burger came, she was passed out. I love this picture Dav took of her head and the lonely burger.

It was fun catching up, and getting to mix English/Japanese, like old times. We all really haven't changed a bit.
