NOLA

Last weekend we hit the humid streets of New Orleans. One of our college/med school friends was getting married and we decided we could use an escape from the cold. The bonus of the trip was that we got to see some of our old friends.

Eating with Steve and Julie.

Beignets and chicory coffee at the famous Cafe Du Monde.



Beautiful square surrounded by local artists and musicians.

Mississippi River.

And there are daiquiris on ever corner. My kinda town.

Ready for the outdoor wedding.

Ben and Liz. Isn't her dress amazing?

Breakfast with Matt and Andrea. I had some truffle grits that changed my life.

Boys being patient while the girls shopped.



This last video is of a band that was playing on Bourbon Street. They are called Tuba Skinny, http://www.tubaskinny.tk/. They play old school blues and jazz from the 20's and 30's. We could have listened to them play all day.

Then we returned to more snow back in SLC. Glad to get away for a bit. Now back to the grind.
