French Quarter







French Quarter

Margaruitos-20$ for all you can drink-Big Ass Beers-a full quart ; these are some of the signs on Bourbon Street- in the heart of the party. Here you will see it all-another people watching paradise. What is more fun- the tourists or the street performers? The latter consists of musicians, dancers, singers, jugglers, and my all time favorites-the statues. They paint their bodies and clothing gold or silver-assume either a regal or physically challenging pose- and remain motionless like a statue. They usually break character-sometimes in a startling manner- if you make a deposit in their tip bucket.

“Narlins” is the magic kingdom for party animals. I don’t exactly know what it is but people tale on a different persona in this city. The quiet, demure librarian from Des Moines, Iowa, is suddenly flipping her top to a bunch of drunken conventioneers tossing beads from a balcony (so they tell me).
Bars and clubs abound and finding one to your liking is like finding your favorite food on a buffet. All the doors are open – step inside and check it out-from deafening hard rock to 50’s Rock-A-Billy! Laissez le bon temps roule’.
