New Orleans

We arrived here in New Orleans  yesterday to a downpour!  The campground provided a courtesy shuttle to the French Quarter so we took that today.  We took a steamboat ride which could have been a lot more fun if it didn't rain on us!  The Natchez is the last authentic steamboat on the Mississippi River.  I can cross that off my bucket list!  We got soaked but enjoyed ourselves anyway.  After the steamboat tour we got on a bus and toured the city.  At least that was dry!  We can't complain because this is the first day that it has rained on us since we left Ohio!  The rain we had in Las Vegas was at the end of the day so that doesn't count!  Off to Pensacola Florida tomorrow!
