After that I walked down towards Canal St. and the riverfront to see if the 360 Club was open. You could grab a water/drink and sit on the top of this building and in an hour see the whole city. Talked to someone and they said it was closed down. Called it the World Trade Center of New Orleans. Due to financial strain and the hurricane, it has closed it's doors. Too bad.
Went to Harrah's to cool off and play a little blackjack. $10 table- I lost $40 quick.
Next went to the church. Yes I went in and tried not to curse God or anything. Ha ha
I was just making my rounds, trying to stay in the air conditioned places. Went to the Presbytère - Louisiana State Museum. They had an exhibit on Katrina(in which I cried) then more lively onto Mardi Gras.
Lots of costumes and the history of Mardi Gras. Here's some views from the upstairs of the museum:
I hung out at my hotel for awhile then decided to go to the Red Fish Grill for dinner. I read great reviews online.
Oh my gosh I had the best dinner. Wood Griiled Redfish (local to the gulf) and Crab on top with potatoes, and peas and sausage.
My server was Andrew, originally from Wales. Good looking guy. He said he played hockey for Univ of Michigan and he has all his teeth! Amazing!
Now I'm at Patrick's Bar Vin off Bienville St. Continuing with the wine. Same brand from New Zealand. This one is Oyster Bay by Marlbourough. It's a nice lounge with seating outside & inside.
That's it, not a big day. Stayed in a lot of air conditioned places and actually the weather today cooled off a bit. It's actually nice tonight. Seriously not too hot. They say this is a cold front- which is only a few degrees cooler.
