Dance Dialogue New Orleans Day 4 March 27th

As I mentioned previously we extended our stay by a day so we could partake of a City/Katrina Tour. Just couldn't get enough of the high life! (Or low, depending on your frame of mind) (Or your lack of Hurricanes, a New Orleans' specialty drink)

Swamp Tour!
