Friday.....she lives.....barely!


Rolled in at 3 AM after a very fun and exciting night on Bourbon Street in French Quarter of New Orleans! We had an amazingly wonderful dinner at Mr. B's Bistro then set out to explore!. Going bar to bar listening to live music and some incredible performers was just an amazing night. Thank you Gary Smith Sr, Trent Spann, Steve Soffa, Paul Robichaux, and Paul.

I finally joined the world of the living at 10 o'clock and met up with my cousin August Santosuosso and had lunch with him. He lives in New Orleans and it is not often that I get to see him. Even though it was short visit it was nice to catch up a little.

I washed my bike down and cleaned it, not to my liking, but standing outside in the hot sun was starting to wear on me. Back at the hotel now setting up the comm system on my helmet and getting all things finalized to leave tomorrow morning.

Tonight we will have a dinner meeting and go over everything for one last time and make sure that we are all set then it is a early night to bed for a good night sleep and early morning to get ready and leave at 8 o'clock sharp!

Enjoy some of the photos I took on Bourbon Street last night!














This one is know as Touchdown Jesus, in front of the oldest operating Catholic Church in the U.S.

People line up on the street on the weekend to come I. And hear this man sing the blues.

Paul ( left) a former attorney now runs the port of New Orleans. It doesn't get up the river without his approval!
Steve Soffa (right) is an amazing designer of timepieces. He is here from Las Vegas to ride with us.
And Tiny (middle) owner of Lucky Dog hot dog chain, fooling around with us.


These next pics are of Gary Sr. Apartment in the Quarter. This is the oldest apartment in the U.S.






The building you see in this news article is his apartment on New Year's Eve, across the street from where they drop the ball.

And our last stop for the night!! Cafe du Monde!

The aftermath!!
