On Thursday, our flight got in around noon in New Orleans. We waited around at the airport for Wendy and Brian and we got a taxi to the hotel together. We stayed at Iberville Suites, which is in the French Quarter - only a block off Bourbon St. It was a very nice hotel - all rooms are suites. Our first visit after checking in was to get po-boys at Mother's - our grilled shrimp po-boy was amazing! We then wandered down Bourbon Street, watched a great zydeco band (Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers) at Krazy Korner, and got some crawfish at Yo Mama's.
Thursday night, we went out to zydeco night at Rock-n-Bowl in the Mid City section of New Orleans. Rock-n-Bowl recently moved to a new venue - a brand new building. It's much larger than the old Rock-n-Bowl, but they did a really good job recreating the old venue. They put the lane, the bar, and the stage in the same locations, and even moved a mural from one of the walls of the old place to the new place. Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Chas were playing, and we had a good time hanging out and listening to the music!
After Rock-n-Bowl, Wendy and Brian went back to the Quarter, but Phil and Kathleen headed out to Le Bon Temps Roule to see the Soul Rebels Brass Band play - they were amazing!
