Saturday in NOLA

On Saturday, we saw a lot more live music around the French Quarter. We started out watching a dixieland band at a stage on Bourbon Street. Then, we stopped in Preservation Hall to see the Tornado Brass Band - they were a lot of fun and played a bunch of New Orleans standards.

On Saturday, we had lunch at Alpine Bistro near Jackson Square. One of the waitresses (Dee) from Brewworks in Bethlehem (where we have lunch a lot) used to work at Alpine (with her husband who also works at Brewworks). So, we passed along a message (hello) from Dee to the owner of Alpine. He was very friendly and happy to hear about Dee and her husband.

After lunch, we wandered around the festival and saw someone pulling quadruplets around in a little train. And at that moment, we were thankful for our one baby, who was safe up north with Grandmom and Grandpop.

Then, we went to see Kermit Ruffins (a trumpet player) perform at the Abita Stage near the river. Kathleen liked it when he played "I Can See Clearly Now" because it was a bright sunshiny day.

Finally, later that evening, we went to see Bonerama play at the Abita stage. Another wonderful show!
