Big Easy – Part 1

Here’s a recap of our first day in the Big Easy:

Jarrod almost fell down the escalator in the airport.  Sadly, I did not capture this on video.

We hopped in a cab and headed to the hotel, which is right on the border of the business district and the French quarter.

Our hotel is super old and super charming:

After we cleaned up, we headed to the French Quarter and stopped in at the first restaurant that caught our eye:  Jean Lafitte Bistro… though oddly that wasn’t the name on the front of the building… Peculiar…

This pasta sauce was RIDICULOUSLY amazing (though both of us weren’t impressed with the sausage).

I love the old-world charm of all of the buildings here:
