# 20 - in New Orleans, USA





Day and night in Bourbon Street - this is some town. Today we bought some artwork from around the railings outside St Louis Cathedral - painted on slate which is novel and they are pretty impressive. And this band were top notch, here they are playing Bob Marley's 'Get Up Stand Up' but its raucous and rowdy and tons of pure energy. And last night we traipsed from bar to bar (with our drinks - you can just walk out of one bar with your beer and into another) - they encourage it. And I saw more bands last night than I have seen this year - lots of rhythm and blues and soul music (the soul/blues guys were great) but my favourite were the zydeco guys - oh yay. Today is Sunday, so where to, who knows but Bourbon Street beckons, I reckon...
