We have been here a few days now and are having a great time. We are staying at Bayou Segnette State Park in Westwego which is south across the river from New Orleans. I put a few pictures of the park we are staying at. The spots are deep so plenty of room for rig and truck. As you can see some have a wood deck. It is about a 15 minute drive to Algiers to catch the ferry across the river to Canal Street. Ferry is free and parking is $5.00. We wandered around the French Quarter and someone gave us directions to the what is suppose to be the oldest building used as a bar in the USA. As you know I don't like going to bars but Jackie drug me there. The building was built between 1722 and 1732 ( Bill Edwards was just a kid then) and is called Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. Lafitte was a pirate and a hero of the Battle Of New Orleans. Then walked the streets until I had to have a cup of Gumbo and Jambalaya, good stuff. It was warm here 77 degrees and a little humid. But better than lots of rain and cold weather I guess. More New Orleans to come.
