Bourbon Street Anyone?

After breakfast we all took the much needed shower and then decided to check out the French Quarter. All of us enjoyed checking out the local shops. Of course we had to try the famous beignet at Cafe Du Monde. A beignet is kind of like a deep fried doughnut with lots and lots of powdered sugar. Jed really enjoyed the powdered sugar and Amy and Lindsey got it all over their pants and couldn't get it off. Last night, after taking a much needed nap, we all headed down to Burbon Street. We went to dinner at restaurant in the French Quarter called Cafe Maspero. Some of us tried the local mufalatta (both veggie and meat) and jambala, and some of us had the traditional cheeseburger. All of us really enjoyed the music on Burbon Street and had fun in the bars and clubs dancing for hours. Anna and Alex made friends with some of the band members at "Fat Cats" and ended up on stage (highlight of the night). We ended up heading home early because we had a big day ahead of us on Saturday at the Animal Rescue New Orleans Shelter.
