New Orleans
So about a month ago we went to New Orleans on business (Fabien’s job)…but I got to tag along and it was fun.
On Sunday we visited Jesse Duplantis’ church and ate at a good Cajun restaurant, though I can’t remember for the life of me what that name of that restaurant is. It was good though…I had shrimp, the 1st time in a long time. Fabien had crawfish ettouffle. Was some good stuff.
We went downtown a couple of times on the riverboat ferry. That was fun and quite different! It was like…whoa…my car is a on a boat. This is weird. It was a different experience.
Over on the side of the river we were downtown, so we traipsed up and down the different streets…Bourbon Street and Canal Street. On one of those streets (I can’t remember which), we stopped by Cafe Beignet for breakfast.
Then we visited a few art galleries, the Imaxx Theatre (which I was surprised was much smaller than the one here in Birmingham, AL), and of course we had to visit the Aquarium of the Americas. Here are some pictures of us there…
Let’s see…oh, and one night we ate at Mother’s Restaurant…it has quite a legacy. Good food, and it was a cold, windy night too, so the food was warm and filling. There’s nothing like Cajun food.
We stayed for 2 weeks so by the time it was over we were ready to come back to T-town. That’s only a quick synopsis of our adventures…we went to so many other places, but I just waited too long to journal it! I should have journaled while I was there.
It was a much-needed trip, though. I didn’t work much while there, and mostly tried to relax and take it easy. It was nice not doing anything business related for a change. I also learned some valuable life lessons while there, about resting in the Lord. I learned about priorities and had 2 weeks to really think about what’s important to me (and what’s not). I came back home with a renewed sense of power…it’s amazing what resting up can do for you and how empowered it can make you feel.
Anyways, we had a great time. Hopefully we’ll get to visit some more places this year.
