Another couple, my wife and I were vacationing in the Big Easy this week. Of course, I just had to stop into the Harley Shop pictured below. In New Orleans, approximately every five seconds you see or hear a Harley rumbling by. That means I get overwhelmed with extreme jealousy… every five seconds.
This was our first time in this wonderful city. By day three, we were completely settled in. It’s not the cleanest city in the world, but it’s charm is undeniable.
As most of you probably know, I’m a music lover. Yeah, I know, N’awlins is a pretty good spot to be, right? There is literally music everywhere. Street corners, bars, festivals, outdoor cafes, markets, balconies and everywhere you turn, you’re likely to hear talented musicians. To put it in perspective, I could easily see the street performers here in New Orleans playing on any stage, and at any venue in the nation.
Highlights:
-Frenchmen Street: The epicenter of great live Blues and Jazz in New Orleans
-Meeting former Terps coach Gary Williams at the Court of Two Sisters Brunch Buffet
-Mufulettas at Central Grocery
-Hurricanes at Pat O’Briens
-Meeting NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson
-Playing poker with Jim Boeheim
-Meeting Charles Barkley randomly on Canal St
-Oh yeah… the NCAA Championship Game was pretty cool too
