 We drove to Ben & Wanda's in Dallas & spent tne night and left early the next morning. This is between Dallas & New orleans. |
 This is one of the cool bridges! The ground is so wet with the swamps & such that the bridges are the main part of the highway. |
 The swamps are pretty cool! |  Cruising into the "BIG EASY" |
 We aquired tickets for the Pre-season game between the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Colts at THE SUPER DOME! |
 What a Pair! Huh!! |
 We grabbed some Bar-B-Que before heading into the stadium. Amazing how you can walk around with alcoholic beverages and no body minds! |
 These are the "Saint-sations" trying to sell thier Calendars and doing quite well at it. I wonder why? |
 We have a little time before going in. |  Waiting, Just waiting! |
 Inside the Super Dome. This blimp carries t-shirts, bumper stidkers, etc. and is remote controlled and drops "cool stuff" on top of the audience. |
 We had excellent seats at the 35 yard line and about 5 rows up! |
 It was a really good game by two pretty evenly matched teams |
 We were close enough to hear the coaches chew out the players that screwed up.! |
 Just showing the score.The Saints finally prevailed in the end! |  |

 |
 The view off our hotel room balcony! Spectacular! |
 A different view from the balcony. |
 Down at the river walk watching the cruise ship load up. |  The river walk is a shopping center right on the river that has about anything you might want or need. Lots of good Cajun food and cold beverages. |
 |
 These were some pretty cool statues inside the novelty store. Couldn't resist a picture. |

 We went on a paddle wheel boat dinner cruise. They had a cajun feast set up with a jazz band. We went up the river for a couple hours. |
 The dinner was excellent! |
 On the banks of the river! |
We walked through the Casino on the way back to the Hotel and dropped a few coins in the machines. Mary couldn't miss and won quite a bit and Lee sat at the blackjack table and won some. It was enough to pay for our dinner cruise! We drove on the next day to Ben & Wanda's and had a nice Bar-B-Que in the afternoon and then on home the next day. What a fine anniversary trip!
