From New Orleans to Mobile

New Orleans was fun - and hot. When I exit any door, my glasses get fogged :-D

The first evening in New Orleans we went to Bourbon Street and its neighborhood. If you ask anybody what you can do in New Orleans, everybody says: Drinking. New Orleans and Los Angeles are the only two cities in the USA where it is allowed to drink on the street. It looks all a bit like the "Ballermann" or "Reperbahn" in Germany.

On Friday we went to a Mississippi Cruser. This was a 2.5h trip where we could see the skyline of New Orleans and some really big ships and really dirty water ;-)

At the evening we went to Bourbon Street again. There is live music in almost every bar :-) this was fun.

All in all, New Orleans isn't really big (the part where you are save). If you want to drink until you die, then New Orleans is great. Otherwise, 2 to 3 days is a great time to watch the city.

We left New Orleans yesterday. We took a taxi to the car rental and rent our car. Other than expected, only one driver is allowed to drive the car - and this is me ;-) If Woody wants to drive too we have to pay 13$ / day extra.

We followed the coast through Mississippi and then arrived in Alabama. Alabama has only a small part at the coast, and the only city there is Mobile. This is where we are right now.

We go to watch the USS Alabama and a sub-marine this morning. Afterwards we drive to Florida.

But first of all, I am going to eat some Waffles!
