We took a class at the New Orleans School of Cooking...just an excuse to eat again. Our instructor was a lifelong resident of New Orleans and the class was part history lesson part stand up comedy. The gumbo, etouffe, & pralines were yummy and the beer was cold.
At the cooking class there was a variety of hot sauces to try which reminded me that before we left Cajun Country we toured the Tabasco factory on Avery Island. This family owned company bottles all of the Tabasco used on the planet...700,000 bottles/day!
While visiting New Orleans we camped at Bayou Segnette State Park. A great spot just a 15 minute drive to park all day for $5 and then take a 5 minute free ferry ride across the Mississippi to the French Quarter. We passed through the Algiers neighborhood each day and I kept making Reed go around the block so I could get another look at the bungalows & shotgun houses.

Rosco & Daisy even got to stroll the French Quarter and Riverwalk. 
Rainy weather was coming and our campground was lowland so we crossed the 24 mile Pontchartrain causeway and headed east.
