Swimming in a sea of red (Razorbacks and Buckeyes that is)

We set off for the French Quarter today via the Algiers Ferry. Many thanks to Don for loaning his car for our day trips. We buzzed around a couple of neighborhoods taking in the big sprawling oaks and admiring the Creole Cottages and the great fretwork. We stumbled upon Bobby D's Grocery hoping to grab a beverage but they were closed.

We spent a few hours walking around the French Quarter today. We were amid a pool of Arkansas and Ohio State fans gearing up for the Sugar Bowl game tonight. People of all varieties were decked out in razorbacks and buckeye get ups. It was fun.

First stop was Napoleon's House for a good muffaletta and a disappointing bowl of gumbo. It was a great place to people watch and re-fuel.

We added a few other images to our NOLA set and you can check them out here. Tune in for more updates from the road.
