New Orleans - Day 3 - French Quarter and Baton Rouge

Even though the game was over, we were able to stay for an extra day in New Orleans. We decided to go spend the day in the French Quarter. Unfortunately it was a little rainy, which made the day a little bit dreary. We didn't let the rain stop us though. We went and parked in the French Quarter and walked around in the rain. Unfortunately, we parked a little too close to this pole. Oops. I guess that's what car rental insurance is for! We wanted to go see the St. Louis Cathedral. Outside the cathedral there was this going on. I guess they didn't let the rain stop them either.

The St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States. It was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.




That night we drove up to Baton Rouge to see my friend Marjorie and her cute family. She was my roommate at BYU. They took us to dinner at a cool cajun restaurant. It was great food and fun entertainment. They had a live band and people would just get up and start dancing. It was great to see them and to hang out for awhile. We wish they didn't live so far away!

I can't believe you guys hit that pole! So you didn't have to pay for anything?

That cathedral was gorgeous!
