New Orleans, French Quarter

-

We made it New Orleans, specifically the French Quarter. And, the well known Bourbon Street. Mardi Gras is soon and you can tell that people are starting the party now! We arrived around noon and it was starting to get crowded. We walked around for awhile then decided to have lunch at Mambo’s. Shane tried Alligator, and no, I didn’t even try a bite. He said it tasted like chicken. I chose a bbq shrimp dish which was delicious and light. We sat by an open window and observed two people selling marijuana products, voicing (yelling) competing messages with their bullhorns. It was hilarious and kind of obnoxious! So much for a quiet lunch. 

After lunch we walked more, and visited a couple shops. Stumbled into a park area with an open space where people were reading tarot cards, selling art and performing. We loved seeing the unique architecture and colorfully painted houses and buildings. 

We definitely enjoyed the New Orleans experience! We would have liked another day to explore, maybe next time! 

😊Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

We arrived in Port Orange, Florida Thursday February 23rd. I immediately didn’t like the RV park, and I still don’t. It’s old and run down with a train track that runs right behind the park, trains run all hours… they’re insanely loud! On a good note, I found a place to get a massage and decided to try a hymilan salt stone massage. It was wonderful, so relaxing!!! I highly recommend trying one. Once I was finished, Shane and I got lunch from Panera, yum! And then we found a great dog park for the dogs to play-in, and socialize. Afterwards, we decided to explore the beach front areas close to Port Orange, where we’re staying.  We stumbled upon Ponce Inlet while looking for a dog friendly beach.We thought we’d get to drive onto the beach in Daytona. Since we weren’t seeing anything, we headed for a lighthouse that was supposed to be close by. That’s when we discovered a park with a river area for dogs. FYY, There are no beach’s that allow dogs in Daytona. The pet friendly Inlet was r...

Our Ferry ride to Victoria BC. We enjoyed traveling there, as much as exploring. We stayed two nights in a hotel and had dinner in the pub next door after we settled in and planned our adventure.  We had breakfast in a cute diner where I became infatuated with a coffee mug, so I decided to buy one. We then went shopping at the local shops close to the hotel, and walked around just taking it all in while exploring interesting shops. I bought a wool hat and an oyster charms at a quaint Irish store. We toured the Craigdorrach Castle. We also visited the Royal BC Museum. Had a drink and desert at the Empress and took a plane ride out of Victoria Harbour.  Found a castle to visit                          Royal BC Museum ⬇️⬇️ I’m
