Tourist LifeStyle

Classy and skanky.  This juxtaposition embodies my relationship with New Orleans, and this is how I like to portray the city to visitors.  Mix in Pat O's versus Margaritaville.  Cochon versus Miss Mae's.  Cafe du Monde versus Unique Grocery.  Hurricanes versus Cherry Bombs.  Abita versus High Life.  With two DC friends in town and an Italian called Cajun leading the way, we hit the highs and the lows and a few in between.


We somehow managed to squeeze in Uptown, Downtown, Warehouse District, Marigny, French Quarter, and Magazine all into about 36 hours of mayhem.  Most impressively, we walked the fine line between never stopping and never getting exhausted.


Moreover, the weekend reinforced two ideas that have become ingrained in my head since moving to New Orleans.  First, I miss the hell out of my friends from Washington, DC.  Second, I absolutely love this town.


These photos are compliments of Audrey.  More photos of the weekend will be coming soon.

Over and Out.
