Woke up this morning and when I saw the beautiful sunrise, I had to stay up to take pictures. As you can see, it was so worthwhile. It is so nice enjoying the scenery from our windows on the 14th floor. Wow!! Today we got the day pass for the streetcar for $3 all day. We took the streetcar to the french market and walked back along the riverwalk and was able to get pictures of the steamboat along the Mississippi River. I am sure we walked about 2 miles today, at least!!! So enjoyable. Took the streetcar home and now enjoying Wine, cheese and crackers. Getting ready to go out to the Oceano Restaurant on Bourbon street for Dinner in our finery!!!  Went to Oceano Restaurant on Bourbon Street.   Had charbroiled oysters for appetizer and I had Louisana crabcakes with cajun crawfish sauce and garlic roasted potatoes with vegetables.  Gary had fried oysters with hush puppies and fries.   He could not finish the fries and I couldn't finish the potatoes and veg.    Gary got his drink "Rajun Cajun Bloody Mary which is made up of Bloody Mary mix along with green hot pepper, pickled olive and spiced green bean.   Gary had to admit it was very hot but very good.   I had Manderin Blush which is made up of Absolut Manderin, Cranberry juice and sprite.  Not bad at all.   Great end to our time in New Orleans.
