A Big, Easy Day

Waking up in NOLA was great! After a leisurely morning, we walked to Tulane from the apartment. We found a little crepe place RIGHT by Newcomb Hall, where the Philosophy Department lives. (Melisa: Strawberry Shortcake crepe; Alex: Funky French Monkey crepe. Delicious.) Then we took the St. Charles street car line to its termination in the French Quarter, and wandered around. Three beignets and a few drinks later, we had more food (can you tell what we like to do?), namely fried oysters and a grilled shrimp po' boy (there are pictures of this). We heard some street music on our way back to the street car, which was amazing and, I suppose, a regular thing around there.
And just after moving the last stray items out of the cargo van, the skies opened up and rained down a beautiful thunderstorm. Timing: Perfect.
