The Big Easy

These pictures are so not in order...grrr blogger...but here are some pictures from our adventure to New Orleans for New Years.

These are our friends Elsa and Chris...Chris and Alex were in pilot training together and also were roommates at one point. Chris lives in Mississippi now and his gf Elsa was visiting so it was nice to meet her and hang out with them.
 This was on the 30th when Alex and I got there. It was a better time to be on Bourbon St. because there weren't as many people but there was still a lot to check out...see the man in the bottom right lunging for the garbage can and almost missing. He wasn't having a successful night...or was he?!

 Morning of New Years Eve we did some exploring...NOLA is such a beautiful city and I hope to go back soon and do some more exploring, shopping in the little shops all around and eating the fantastic Cajun food.
The was on the 30th... Alex bought me a rose from a man in a wheelchair (I made him haha) and then bought me this awful drink called a Hand Grenade aka lots of sugar and some booze. Headache city but man it was a fun trip!

I think next time we go I want to take our parents...it would be a blast :)
