Camp Street--New Orleans

Fairview-Riverside SP, Mandeville, LA: This morning dawned cloudy and grey. Mike dropped me off at Family Cuts so I could get my hair cut and he went over to check out what movies are playing. Cinema is shut down for renovations, so we decided to drive over to New Orleans and go back to the WWII Museum. Drove over the 24 mile long bridge over Lake Poncetrain into the city. Decided to get some lunch before hitting the museum, so after parking we walked down to Poydras looking for a restaurant. Nothing. So walked back down Magazine and found a little eatery on the corner of Magazine and Lafayette. After eating we walked back to the museum. This is a great museum and the area around the museum has improved quite a bit. They’re building a huge addition to the museum and there seems to be a lot more galleries in the area. We toured the museum until 5:00 and then headed back. Right in time for rush hour traffic. Got back around 6:30 and had left-overs for dinner. Supposed to be lousy weather tomorrow too.
