Thursday, May 17, 2007 Marianna, FL (Florida Caverns State Park to New Orleans




This morning it was time to head west…going through 4 states: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, we landed in New Orleans. On the way we checked the AAA guide, made phone calls, and were pleased to find a two-day home at Chateau LeMoyne, a Holiday Inn one block from Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter. The AAA price was right, and they had on-site parking for our car and camper. When we had entered Louisiana, we stopped at the Visitor Center for information and suggestions. We’d highly recommend this plan. The ideas for restaurants and tours were perfect for our taste and budget. At Olivier’s we had salad with Cajun vinaigrette, an eggplant appetizer with mushroom and sausage roux, and shrimp scampi. By sharing, we could sample more things and still feel satisfied. After dinner, we played tourist by walking along Bourbon Street to watch people and listen to music. It was quite similar to Beale Street in Memphis, but we enjoyed it here more.
