NEW ORLEANS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
     As we were leaving Breaux Bridge, local STOP sign enlightened us that sign could be used as target practice.
Arrived at Lake Ponchatrain Campground in the afternoon. Lots of traffic on I-10. The campground has definitely been enlarged. More sites and enclosed in the bar/restaurant area.  Went into town of Friday amid rain showers. Lots of tourists and traffic. Walked around French market and did some shopping and eating.
   Thought about going to Saints game in Sunday, but only 27 seats left in Superdome. We passed on going. Went into town for early dinner at Red Fish Grill on Bourbon Street. Great food!!
Afterwards, we walked to St. Louis Church in Jackson Square for caroling. It was there 68th year of doing this outdoor caroling. Everyone was given a candle and songbook. Skip figured there had to be close to 2,000 people singing. It was lots of fun!!! Would definitely come back to do this again.
  Christmas Eve we spent at campground. Had a few drinks at bar with everyone.
