Traveled back in time to a place called Nola.

So let me start off by saying, its hot.

Lets head back to our night in Charlotte:
We ended up going across the street to a local sports bar for some dinner which oddly boasted all Pittsburgh sports memorabilia (yes we were still in Charlotte). We sat with some locals and eventually our good looks and approachability brought over the only crying middle aged women in the bar, or actually the only woman in the bar. She was a nurse go figure, who had just gotten into a fight with her beau and that had just "accidentally" broken her wrist. The good murses that Peanut and I are we used some therapeutic communication accompanied by a Michelob Ultra and I gave her a musculoskeletal assessment at the bar and told her to RICE (rest,ice,compress,elevate).

Charlotte reminded me of Gotham City, minus the crazy clowns on dirt bikes and Danny Divito dressed as a penguin. We ended up at a bowling alley the could have been straight from the movie Boogie nights. Fun.

Mind you, we were staying less than 5 minutes outside of downtown. With that being said, we get in the car after Boogie Nights Bowling and Adam falls asleep almost instantly, lol ridiculous. So Peanut and I decided when we arrived back at the hotel that Adam looked too peaceful to wake up hahahaha. We leave him in the car and lock the doors. I get a call @ 3:45AM, its Adam, and he mumbles "the alarm". He actually believed that we tried to wake him up.

We wake up pretty dehydrated and head down to our complimentary breakfast that included fresh omelets, toast, home fries, fruit, 9 road yogurts and 2 hotel spoons.

We hit the Open road...but stop 30min later @ JR's Tobacco Outlet in South Carolina. Adam is in the bathroom for 35minutes so Peanut and I have to pretend to isle shop. We fought the urge of buying a bag of M80's, next time. A woman trucker inside (haha), knew where Hamden, CT was (which creeped Peanut out a litte) and then bought a 30 rack of Busch Light @ 9:30AM and was antsy to get out of the store and drink them. Worth mentioning was the stack of fly swatters big enough to kill Hummingbirds and also the purchase of 3 corncob pipes and some Middleton's Cherry Tobacco. So we all John Hancock their toilet bowl and hit the road.

Every time we see a 18 wheel tanker we guess what's inside: Milk, lemonade, yogurt, liquid Nitrogen, AIDS (McCarthy's guess).

Hot Topics:
1. I think Adam has IBS.
2. Peanut smells worse than New Jersey.
3. We saw ski masks for sale inside a gas station in Georgia, wtf does someone in Georgia need a ski mask for in the middle of May, unless they plan on robbing a gas station...
4. Hit 1000k South of Atlanta (cool looking city)
5. Today we traveled back in time or entered Central Standard Time.
6. We bought a "Sneak a Peak" and a "Tingler Ring" in a bathroom.
7. "Men don't wear dresses...do they" - referencing a couple of things we weren't sure what to called them that walked by us last night

New Orleans (NOLA)
We rendez-vous with Emily in downtown Nola. Let me begin by saying, she is awesome to let 3 strangers bunk up with her and show us a good time. This place is sweet. Outdoor music, friendly people, lots to do. We pick her up from a cafe and then we head back to her place so drop some of our stuff off. We end up eating a local establishment (we want local food) called Jacques-IMOS where there are tables setup outside and also one side the bed of a truck in front of the restaurant. We eat crawfish, alligator cheesecake, and shrimp. We were also told that the oil should be reaching the shore within the next couple of days and that seafood will be wiped out for the next 5 years here. We had to get some in.

PG rated for the kids: We get dropped off on Bourbon street, its 11PM. Holy shit this place is crazy. We get a cab home and wander/run through the hallways of Emily's apartment complex for 10minutes its 3AM and she has to come find us. We were happy to see her/can't decide whether she thought the same considering today she had to go to work.

Things learned:
1. No open container laws, yes folks, you don't have to chug your drink when your ready to leave a bar, you can just gingerly walk outside with it and then into another bar if you please. We caught each other a few times with the bottles upside down for no reason.
2. Adam likes tobacco.

Emily left us a list of things to do, we're gonna do em. Tonight we are heading out to a bar near Tulane University with .50cent drink specials, something we are used to.

I'll keep writing if you keep reading.
