If It Didn't Suck....

Our hotel was on Bourbon, the Inn on Bourbon to be exact, and when some friends like Maurice would tell me that Bourbon was where the action was well I just filed it away and forgot about, but he was right.

First of all, drinking is allowed in all areas of the public, open containers, cans, huge plastic alien tubes filled with 32 ounces of Hurricane power, all right on the sidewalks. Aside from that, each night the street is closed off to traffic so all the visitors and natives of NO walk through the sidewalks and streets drinking and having a good time. One would liken the scene to that of a feast or street festival that may occur once a year, here it is every night.

Another interesting fact, not so much that I could fully enjoy it with my wife in tow was that the street scene was reminicint of a scene out of those spring break videos that they hawk on the interent all the time. The balconies were crowded with people waving beads, and the crowd eager to get their hands on the dime store baubles would should and cheer and hope to get some. Then the crowd on the balconies would yell things to the effect of, "Show ups your tits" and surprisingly, they were obliged and the beads would rain down.....
