Holy crap we need to leave this city. We are spending way too much money, our bodies aren't used to humidity, and we also have something called morals...sometimes.
Yesterday we spent the day walking around. We must have tourist targets on ("BANG BANG", says Peanut). I don't think it was my straw hat though.
We park, 5 seconds later Adam gives someone a dollar.
We walk up to the shore of the Mississippi and get asked, "I bet I can tell you where you got dem shoes, city, and state". The answer, "You got one on your left, one on your right, and your standing in New Orleans, Louisiana". This was followed by him trying to squirt "shoe cleaner" or hotel bathroom conditioner on our shoes. I saw one guy cleaning Peanuts, their still dirty, just conditioned.
"I know how many kids your father has". The answer, "None, your mom had kids silly".
"Tell me your first name and I can spell your last name".
-"Matt"
-"Ok Matt, and y.o.u.r. l.a.s.t. n.a.m.e."
All these things were followed by give me a dollar. Fuck that.
The one guy we didn't mind giving money too, called me out from down the road, we ignored the strippers and stopped with the man with the bucket, he liked my hat. He said, "I'm the best in the streets", while holding a bucket so obviously we were curious. He proceeds to put his face in the bucket...so your the best at snuffing chemicals inside a bucket...nope, wrong. He was the best in the streets at free styling about me with his face in a bucket!!!!!!!
We eat at a place called PoBoys that is recognized by the Travel Channel. Whole in the wall place that served fried whatever they feel like on a french baguette. It was banging! We then walk to Cafe du Monde, well known for french pastries, we get three and watch our cash register women lick her fingers in between putting powdered sugar on the pastries and then holding money and then repeating the process. YumYum...While we are talking food, we eat dinner at Deanies in the french quarter. Service was at warp speed, we felt like we were racing to finish what was in front of us before the next thing came, we lost every time, so she just took our plates mid-chew.
We rode the trolley, they forgot to tell us to get off.
We smoked our corn pipes on the shore of the Mississippi. Watched a steam ferry float by. We discussed how much we are loving this trip.
Hot Topics:
1. Emily asks if we get car sick, Peanut replies "only when you drive". We think she's related to Danica Patrick. Her car needs new struts and brakes.
2. Our first stop on Bourbon St. was at a bar called "Le Booze". Little classy for us, we watch the Celtics game then get approached by a gentleman casually dressed. He asks for dip, whata know. We might know someone who has some. He goes on to tell us he's some bigwig at a fortune 500 company and then gets on a soapbox and proceeds to discuss with us the importance of integrity now that we are new grads and have jobs. Adam is also currently a GE mechanical engineer. He buys us 2 rounds and also gives us 3 tickets to a strip club...gotta love the irony there, hahahaha.
3. Adam and I can't believe we bought $4 slices of pizza. You suck.
4. We pet police horses.
5. Peanut has "16.5" biceps.
6. Peanut and I had $18 daiquiris. We're not gay.
There's a superhero named Thor in Houston with an itinerary waiting. Lets flush this toilet.
