n'awlins

usually when i travel somewhere, it's because i'm visiting friends or family. never have i planned a trip for no reason other than pure curiosity. we got an email from steve jobs in october telling us that because he's so proud of our hard work, we all get the week of thanksgiving off, paid. how better than to use my free vacation days traveling to unexplored territory? after a lot of back and forth, a friend and i decided that new orleans was the perfect place to go, mainly because we would be able to escape cold SF for some upper 70's weather.  

the culture in new orleans is amazing. the random bands playing in the street, the southern hospitality and best of all, the food! fried oyster po boys, freshly cooked beignets, gumbo and alligator sausage were just a few delicious eats i got to indulge in. and bourbon street. man, it's more intense than the vegas strip. our sat night there was so wild i'm afraid of what marti gras is like. we also explored frenchmen street which also had tons of bars with live music. i liked the underground feel it had there. the marnigy was where we saw the hipsters and let me tell ya, hipsters are hipsters wherever you go. 

overall, i give this trip an 'A'. i had an awesome time. now, time to detox.
