French Quarter<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beautiful old french buildings<\/p>\n

Walk around Jackson Square<\/p>\n

A very hectic Bourbon Street with everyone preparing for Mardi Gras<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 De Monde, serving coffee and beignets since 1862.\u00a0 There was a line of tourists out the door and down the road so we decided to leave for a coffee really early. The coffee and chicory was nice but really, I don\u2019t know what the fuss was about, There were plenty of other courtyards serving coffee and beignets.<\/p>\n

Gumbo, Jambalaya,, Southern style fried chicken, Po Boys, drive through daiquiris, Kings cake. The Kings cake is a Bundt cake, and buried inside is a tiny, plastic baby Jesus figurine. The gold represents power, green faith, and purple for justice. The tradition is that whoever gets the baby is King or Queen for the day and usually has to buy next years cake or host the next Mardi Gras party.<\/p>\n
