24th September, flight to New Orleans and the heat hits you like opening the oven, despite it pouring with steamy rain when we arrived.
We got a taxi from the airport to our BnB situated on Esplanade Ave. Our driver with her Louisiana drawl told us Beyoncé was performing tonight: " she don't like wearing no clothes" , which made us laugh. Lil Dizzies was pointed out as a good place to breakfast, also some dodgy looking fried chicken place, hmmm, not so sure about the latter.
Like excited children we walked in the 90degree heat into the French Quarter to get my first taste of Nawlins and wow, what a place. Found a bar with a rock band blaring, then Frenchman Street for people watching and dinner. Every other venue has music and so does the street - a jazz band with a tuba player surrounded by a huge crowd - all you could see was the shining brass of the horn swaying back and forth blasting it's notes above the heads of the onlookers.
The whole atmosphere was mad with everyone out to have a great time.

Gas lamps still used everywhere, including outside our Airbnb
