Our Last Day In New Orleans

New Orleans has been fabulous!  I have loved every minute of our time in the French Quarter!!   

We started our day with coffee and Breakfast including New Orlean's Beignets at Café Beignet!   



Inside Café Beignet!!  A small but quaint Cafe.  


Next stop was one of the many cemeteries in New Orleans!  We caught the Trolly that took us to the end of the line with many cemeteries right there!  We weren't able to get to Metairie Cemetery as I had hoped.  We would have had to drive to that one and we didn't want to be doing any driving once we parked at the parkade.  




The Cemeteries are really unique with the graves being above ground in crypts.  Of course picked the hottest dat to walk the cemeteries!  


Back on the Trolly we road to the Bourbon Street stop!!! 


First stop was the Monteleone Carousel Bar!  We timed that perfect, as we walked two seats at the carousel opened up!!  



New Orleans Hurricane Drink!   Very tasty!!!  



It was a really neat experience to sit and enjoy a drink as the bar rotated around the room!  

Next stop as we made our way on up Bourbon Street was a Tropical Isle for a Handgrenade  ~ New Orleans strongest cocktail.  Tropical Isle even has the Handgrenade drink patented so no other bar can legally make or sell them.   





After a couple Handgrenades it was time to move on.   

Next stop Lafittes's Blacksmith Shop.  The oldest bar in New Orleans since 1772.  This was truly like stepping back in time!  There is very little power in the bar, only in certain areas the rest is lite by candles.  






After enjoying the old world charm of Laffite's we were off to Frenchman Street!!!  


We stopped in at Maringe Brasserie for a bite to eat and a cocktail!!  


We tried the Truffle Fries.....Oh My God I need to find some White Truffle Oil.  Those fries were sooooo good!!  Boudin Balls.....Yum omg they are so good!!!  Might have to try them once more before we hit Texas!!!  


Mama's Moonshine Cocktail made with FireFly Strawberry Moonshine.  Yum!!!  



Time to make our way back to the French Quarter and to the Quarter House!!  

On the way back we see this car that a guy has been decking out with stained glass, coins, watch faces, beads and other unique items!!  





A great way to spend our last day/night in New Orleans!!!
