The Big Easy

I <3 New Orleans.  I have so many wonderful childhood memories from staying in this spectacular city.


Caf'e Du Monde ~ My parents went here on their first date.

So yummy...I miss having white powder all over my lips.

That's Big Kevin in the middle.  I would always run in and grab a handful of homemade pralines.

Yummy ;P

The Street Car ran in front of my Aunts house on St. Charles.

A dream that came true.

Where I tasted my first draft beer while listening to local Jazz.

Mardi Gras ~ Laissez les bon temps rouler!

5 years since Hurricane Katrina

* I wish I had my New Orleans photographs with me here in Kuwait but they are on my PC at home.  All images taken off Google.

  1. WOW! I always wanted to go to New Orleans and check out The French Quarter (Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, & Café du Monde). We need a Cajun themed restaurant in Kuwait.

    Viva la NOLA!
