NOLA today. Didn’t really care for it.
Went to the French Quarter, Bourbon street smelled like shit- literally so I wanted no part of eating there. Spent $25 to park and ate in a mini mall food court. Best part of the afternoon was watching the Natchez Steamboat prepare to leave the dock. There was an organist at the top playing music so we sat at the plaza and listened to him for quite a while. As they prepared to leave the Captain and Luke interacted with each other.
Now- the redeemer for the day. We had a 5:30 appointment for a Airboat ride in Des Allemands. OMG. Such a blast! We took out the 6 person boat so it was just us and our guide Craig. We saw at least a dozen gators, but were up close and personal with 3 of them!!! We went fast, did donuts in the water, and even jumped a levee. It was so cool to ride among the cypress trees, lotus flowers and duck ponds. We saw great blue heron, a giant alligator gar (google that one!) and a 1,000 pound bald eagles nest that even withstood hurricane Katrina. Rese was more terrified of the dragonflies then the Gators, but everyone else loved it! Especially Luke.
