New Orleans at Last!

We were a little early for our last major obstacle, a bridge that requires four hours notice to open, and they were a little late, so we waited for over an hour within sight of the lake. But we got thru and after a couple of tries got the boat into the slip at the marina. We had dinner at a nice little place on Frenchman Street, then walked down to Cafe du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait. Chelsea and her friend made it to the boat late last night and are still asleep. I'm about to head to the airport to get a rental car which we will also use to hold empty bags and other stuff while we have four, and maybe tomorrow five, people aboard for the first time. We all need to go to back to the airport on Monday with all our bags anyway to fly back to Phoenix. The back cabin somehow became a garage for things that didn't quickly fit somewhere else. More things for the list.
