Yesterday we went into New Orleans for the day. Jerry and I though we would do some sight seeing while Lee made some money at the poker tables at Harrahs. It didnt work out that way because as soon as I got into the casino i wanted to play. Lee put his name on the list to play 2/5 while Jerry and I joined 1/2 tables. While Lee is waiting for his seat he realises he have left his money back at Jerrys!!!. HMMMMMMMMM. But I am nice and lend him some on a very short time basis.
Jerry loses his money, I won a little but got no where near doubling ny $200 which was my goal, while Lee turned his $400 ( my $400) into $750 thanks to a full house of Qs and 10s.
We got to Harrahs at about 2pm and left at about 7pm, so it was only a short 5 hour stint.
On leaving Harrahs we headed on over to Bourbon Street. All I can say about Bourbon street is WOW. All the bars were rocking with either Blues or Jazz, this one guy who played the trumpet sounded just like Louie Armstrong.In one of the other bars there was this Blues singer who the called Fat Mama, Martha White (I Think), and that was euthentic blues/soul. The bar after that had two Pianos set up and they played constantly takng requests from the audience (as long as you tipped them), I got them to play I come from the land down under by Men at work, which went down pretty well.
All in all, that was the best Wednesday night of my life, it was seriously the most fun I have had in a hell of a long time ( sorry Bluff).
Today we are heading off to Blioxi. So I will wrte again tomorrow.
