Ian and I partook in at least four thanksgiving like feasts (Lansing, Dayton, Gainesville, Austin) while we were out and about traveling the country visiting friends and family.
On the actual day of Thanksgiving however we were roaming around a quiet New Orleans with other Ian. I actually had to use my imagination to experience the debauchery and public disgustingness that would be a normal/festive day in the quarter.
Beignets and Po'Boys were our only two food requirements for the city of New Orleans. We'd even eaten beignets at Mayfel's in Asheville so we could compare.
 |
| Cafe Dumonde, a nola institution was still buzzing with activity on the quiet holiday. (Mayfel's beignets were totally more delicious) |
 |
| An after breakfast walk along the river, looking at all the giant boats and things. |
 |
| Some of the quaint nola architecture. |
 |
| "I want both of you like where Ian is!" so they both move in different directions. Afterall, they are both Ian. |
 |
| We finally found an open restaurant serving Po'Boys! Mike's Carribean or some such. . . Everything a good po'boy should (except cheap). A delicious thanksgiving indeed. Foreground is deep fried shrimp, background is two softshell crabs. My Ian had crawdads. |
Also in nola we ate at Juan's Flying Burrito. It was the best unexpected delicious of the trip. If you're in new orleans, go there.
 |
| Is it us, or is this building all leaning a few too many inches to one side? |
By the end of the day I was getting a little anxious about my online business since I hadn't gotten to check in for a few days longer than I anticipated. So through some problem solving, Ian Smith remembered the borders book store. We go there and it was closed, but he said I should try the wi-fi (both Ians agreed) anyhow because they don't usually turn it off at night.
While I was slowly checking my email over the weak wi-fi connection Ian M. found this gecko scaling the building.
