New Orleans - River Walk - Day 2

After leaving the D-Day Museum we headed downtown for a delicious Cajun lunch. It was at a really fun restaurant. Every 20 minutes or so they would play the fight song for Alabama. Everyone there would stand up and join in. They would then play the Utah fight song, and all 10 us of there would join in. It was a lot of fun.

We then decided to go check out the Mississippi River Walk. While there we stopped by Cafe Du Monde. It is a famous French Market Coffee stand that has been in New Orleans since 1862. We had heard that the beignets were amazing. I didn't know what a beignet was, but it is a "square French-style doughnut, lavishly covered with powdered sugar." Sounded good to me! I quickly learned that "lavishly covered" does not even begin to describe how much powdered sugar they put on these.

A little dark picture, but you can tell Andrew is really enjoying his beignet.

Can you see all that powdered sugar?

This is the mess I left on the ground after eating just one beignet. They were absolutely delicious! Definitely worth every calorie.

After filling ourselves full of beignets, we headed over to the superdome to see the game! (the real reason for the trip.)
