New Orleans Travel Diary: Des Beignets et la Lune

After leading a Bastille Day parade with the accordion down the less cheesy parts of the French Quarter’s narrow streets (photos and story later), Edward and I took our new local friends Amanda and Emily out for drinks and then to Cafe du Monde. On the way to the cafe, we passed by Jackson Square and came across this gentleman with a decent-sized telescope offering views of the moon in exchange for donations. We took him up on his offer, and were treated to some spectacular views of the lunar surface.

And then…beignets!

Hey, Hipster Boy! Get off your phone, enjoy the beignets and make some conversation with our gracious hosts!
