We spent the day in New Orleans. Instead of buying a tour, we got $3 passes to ride any of the antique trolleys around the city. Having been to New Orleans for business conferences in the past, I dreamed of going to Café Du Mond for beignets and cafe au lait. We took the riverfront trolley to Café Du Mond. The beignets and coffee were as terrific as I had remembered.

After the café, we walked around the French Quarter and ended up at Cornet on Bourbon Street for lunch.

We took the trolley out to the garden district. The garden district is where there are old mansions that are still residences or restaurants and businesses. Really no pictures as my cell phone battery was almost depleted.

We left the city and took the 26 mile bridge across Lake Pontchartrain.
