Eating in the Big Easy/New Orleans

We have eaten a lot of different foods in our travels ... eg., bush rat, fried termites and domesticated cat (West Africa), kangaroo (Toronto!), buffalo (western Canada), moose and venison (we have a neighbour who likes to hunt), fried gater (Florida on this trip)....but, we loved eating in New Orleans.  We thoroughly enjoyed jambalaya alfredo pasta, alligator & duck gumbo, an exquisite local fresh fish in a buttery sauce with great seasonings, cheesed up crab cakes, BBQ oyster Po-boy sandwich (like a submarine but on a fresh light french loaf), seafood gumbo and jambalaya with rice.  Of course mixing lemon\lime margarettas was a bonus. We spent our 3rd day in New Orleans wandering the french quarter, riding on local trams, visiting two museums on Jackson Square; one about Katrina and the other on the history of New Orleans, and then checking out the ritzy stores on Canal Street. Photos: The Dalai Lama is coming to New Orleans and the flags are flying; bet Bev's Harley could outrun this cop even if she was carrying an umbrella; Dave in a courtyard; and, Bev on Canal st.
