DAY 17: LAZY DAY IN THE FRENCH QTR
After a good sleep in this morning, we took a stroll to the 'Maison' a club on the outskirts of the French Quarter via Jackson Square.
The Maison had their regular 'Swingin Sunday Brunch' session - live jazz over a late breakfast.
Seeing Josh jigging in his seat, a lady from a nearby group asked him up to dance. After a little coaxing, the young fella let loose with some shoe shuffling that had the whole bar including the band cheering.
He was a little embarrassed by all the attention, but then the lady that asked him up, came over and handed him a $20 bill for his 30 seconds of footloose!
If I knew we were on such a moneymaker, I would've set him up on a Bourbon St corner for a couple of hours to pay off the whole holiday!
After the Maison, we returned to Jackson Square to take a mule-drawn carriage ride around the French Quarter.
It's been sweltering here today, so after that we took refuge from the heat for a bit of a lazy afternoon.
More of the same tomorrow I reckon - when it comes to putting your feet up, New Orleans isn't a bad place to do it!
