My birthday trip to New Orleans was everything I wanted that I didn't know I needed.
I wanted to have fun.
I wanted to hear stories.
I wanted to try new foods.
I wanted to explore.
I wanted to live without a watch. No schedule. No structure.
I wanted to dance.
I wanted to drink.
I wanted to hear live jazz.
I got all this and more.
Two memories I will never forget.
New Orleans aglow with Christmas lights.
Gliding by bright colorful shotgun houses on a bike.
In New Orleans when a shopkeeper gives a little something extra or a small gift, this is called a "lagniappe".
This rich city, she gave me many lagniappes:)
