October 13, 2023. Madison, Mississippi. New Orleans.

 Every one who spoke to friend David in Nova Scotia and knew he was coming to Mississippi, all gave one piece of advice, which was to be sure to go to New Orleans.  Chris offered to take him there and they planned to go for Saturday and Sunday this weekend.  But David decided not to stay overnight.  Instead, Chris suggested the could stay for a day.  Yesterday was the day.  The drive takes two and a half hours so the left at 7:00 in the morning and the arrived back home before dark.

Christ, my Lyft driver was born and raised in New Orleans so he knows the hot spots.  And he was a good travel guide.  They drove straight to Jackson square and parked From then on, they parted ways and met back at the car in 3 hours.  Then David walked and had a wonderful time.  He walked along the Mississippi River. but was unable to board a paddle boat but he saw them.  And he took hundreds of pictures.  He came home very happy after his day in New Orleans.

Now he would love to return for a weekend.  But in the meantime, he loved the balconies and the French Quarter.  They were fortunate with the weather.  Not too hot or not too cold.  It was busy but not crowded. David had a good day in New Orleans.
