Saying bye to New Orleans
Blue Oak BBQ
We drove by this restaurant many times. Today we decided to try it. I think we may be tired of seafood for awhile. Mike got the chopped brisket sandwich and potato salad. I got the brisket nachos. It was really good. They ship food and sauce and I think we may order some to have back home. Small dining room and a large patio. Today was in the upper 70’s but very humid. We ate inside. Not Texas barbecue but Blue Oak is not bad.

Cafe Du Monde Visit 13
Cafe Du Monde redeemed itself this morning. The power went out around 8:00 AM and our host shared a text that said it would probably be out until 10:00 AM. So we headed out for breakfast. Yummy as always and I got to get REAL coffee. We drove back to the Airbnb and grabbed the rest of the frozen peas and went to the bayou by the Museum of Art and fed the geese, ducks and ibises. The swans were not around. The geese were very loud but not aggressive to the point of biting. A very nice way to spend the morning.

Cafe Du Monde Visit 12
Tonight was a disappointment. We enjoy going in the evening to miss the crowd and relax. Tonight was not the night for it. The place was packed with kids in costumes hyped up on candy, dogs barking at other dogs and the kids in costume and teenagers that smelled of pot. We ate inside to avoid most of the chaos.

Neyow’s Creole Cafe
We tried another neighborhood place called Neyow’s. It specializes in southern creole food. Mike got a shrimp po boy and I got crabcakes, dressing and hushpuppies. The place was packed with tables of large families. We could not hear each other.

Kenner Seafood Visit 3
After changing the battery, we needed to drive around a bit so we headed 14 miles to eat at Kenner Seafood one last time before we leave Tuesday. We both agree that the seafood is amazing and the servers great. I got the shrimp plate and Mike got red beans and rice with smoked sausage. Mike got a slice of carrot cake to go. It was good, but very small for what it cost.
I wish we had a good way to get the seafood home. They have an amazing assortment of crab, shrimp, oysters and fish in the market.

Battery Change
Our Airbnb host moved his truck so Mike could change the battery without being on the street. The car had to be jumped so he could move it. Shortly afterwards, he was finished and the car was good as new. We headed back to Auto Zone to exchange the old battery and get our $20 deposit back.
