June 14, 2008 ~ The Main Event

June 14, 2008. A weekend break! We covered a lot this past week, so a little break is welcomed. We started our day by starting late and catching up on some recreational reading.
Early in the evening, around 9pm, we were ready to explore the Quarter. We wandered around until we came to the infamous Bourbon Street. It was lively to say the least. We stopped for drinks and jazz at Maison Bourbon. Thankfully the jazz was better than the drinks. When the show ended so did our opening act of the evening. We left Bourbon Street in search of a main event on Frenchmen Street.

Frenchmen St. is similar to Bourbon St. but not as many tourists. After wandering around Frenchmen St. and finding nothing to entertain us, Dee remembered that we had been invited to a bar by Malcolm, a front desk worker at our B&B. It turned out to be the Main Event. Free gumbo, free cake, free drinks, and a free drag show, it was highly entertaining.
