Vacation Day 2 New Orleans home of Jazz

Began our day at 10 am, unable to defeat the two hour time difference. Enjoyed a two hour lunch cruise on the Natchez Steam Paddlewheeler. Good cruise on the Mississippi River, good food and live jazz in the dining room.

We enjoy coffee at the Holy Grail of Coffee and Donutes, Cafe Du Mondes.

After a good meal and Ralph and Kakoo's Restaurant we lined up for the Holy Grail of Jazz, Preservation Hall and really enjoyed the music, including the piano and bass players from the Steamboat Cruise.

We are always amazed at the street performers we see, and this guy really made a good haul outside the boat zone, he froze himself into what looked like a fast walk and held it for over half an hour. Impressive.
