Down in N'awlins (dancin' in the streets)

Of course you have to go south for Australia Day - so we headed down to NOLA - New Orleans Louisiana

We had such a great time checking out the food and the music in the streets.

I ate red beans and rice on Bourbon street and had a strawberry smoothie at the French Market that was so amazingly good I begged a second trip. I fell in love with French stick.

We saw some beautiful old houses in the Garden District and spent a lot of time enjoying the sun and the songs in the French Quarter; Daddy was keen to put his hand in the very dirty Mississippi; and we had a wonder through the oldest cemetery in New Orleans where they bury everyone above ground (because the ground is so wet).

I got stung by a bee on my first day - my first ever bee sting but it made everything else seem so much better - especially when I got a bendy Joker figure at the 50s store where mummy got a new dress and a Ouija board cardigan
