we spent most of the first day we were there in the french quarter. (disregard the random guy in the picture, no idea who that is). we did all of the mandatory things, many of which will be documented in later pictures. although i don't have a picture of it, one of the things we did do was to stop by cafe du monde for beignets. oh god they're good. (http://www.cafedumonde.com/beignet.html if you want to know what they are. basically french donuts with about a pound of powdered sugar on top. the powdered sugar was literally equal in volume to the three donuts it was poured upon)
