We slept in a little later, and then headed out to see downtown in the daylight, by way of one of the oldest trolleycar systems in the US. We also walked through a cemetery, gawking at the huge above-ground tombs dating back a century or more.
Downtown in the daylight reminded me of Victoria in the summer. There is obviously a huge arts community in downtown New Orleans, and every corner has a busker or interesting art shop or musician playing for tips. Ryan, Steve and I ate in a little cafe, listening to a live jazz band. I ate a fried shrimp po'boy, which is a glorified sandwich. it was delicious.
We spent some time wandering around the city, and then headed back to the MDS headquarters to pick up our bags.
The flight home was good. I got a chance to chat with Noah between NO and Minneapolis, and then with Jackie and Elise between Minneapolis and Seattle. We finally returned to CBC at about 2:45 PST, or about 4:45 our time, exhausted and happy.
