The rest of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana

I had such a great time today. Driving through the bayous and swamps of Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana was an experience that I would not want to have missed. Meryl was kind enough to take me around the French Quarter tonight. I enjoyed a rabbit Jambalaya at Coops (that is Meryl in the picture) that put my Jambalaya to shame. It had flavors that I can't even attempt to identify. Next we went to a bar next door, which was equipped with a cat that visited the patrons. At one point the owner put some of it's treats in a plastic cup. The cat ravenously plunged it's head into the cup and proceeded to tear through the bar with it stuck to it's face, spilling it's treats all over the floor. Next was Cafe Du Monde for fresh beignets and hot chocolate, followed by a quick tour of Jackson Square. I have also included pictures of this old hotel I am staying at, which really fits with the whole atmosphere here in New Orleans! Tallahassee, you have big shoes to fill tomorrow!
