Thus sitting out on a corner<br />verandah in the heart of Bourbon and Royale Street at night, the street corner "would be<br />crooners or new age Louis Armstrongs" were a delight to watch and listen to. Thank God<br />though the hotel rooms were sound proof!<br /><br />The Cafe du Monde has always been the "in" place, just like Brennan's for Breakfast.<br />I did have the 'sweet' beignets - I don't think I would have made a habit of them though and<br />I am sure there were back when I was there other things on the menu but my visit was well<br />after midnight!<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-18037658505154350782015-01-15T02:25:07.776+10:002015-01-15T02:25:07.776+10:00The B&B looks fantastic Diane and looking fvkr...The B&B looks fantastic Diane and looking fvkrward to your photo safarfi shots and info.
