Today was a rather easy day which consisted of primarily free time so a couple of my shipmates and I decided to celebrate our "easy" day with a trip to the "Big Easy", the city of New Orleans. Known for Mardi Gras, jazz, seafood, pralines, and these cool little french doughnuts called beignets (pronounced Bin-Yay) New Orleans is all about food and entertainment with emphasis on my favorite pasttime...food.
Bourbon Street
Good Eats!
We started out with an quick walk through Bourbon Street (home of Mardi Gras) and then made our way to the famous Cafe Du Monde to sample their world famous delicate French doughnut, the beignet. The beignet is a pastry made from deep-fried dough which is covered in confectioner's sugar...nothing beats fried sugar-coated goodness!Here are few more highlights from our sightseeing...
