Post Script - gumbo and tears

So home now, reviewing everything that happened over these past 11 days. All quite extraordinary and making memories to last a lifetime. Met some wonderful people on the cruise (one couple even called us last night to wish us Happy New Year!) And then - New Orleans. Leaving yesterday was bittersweet. A city I have never seen Jeff so happy in - his food, his music, his easy pace. A city full of character, history, great food, great music, and open genuine people. And I know we only scratched the surface! I sincerely hope we get to go back one day - I think New Orleans is going to become a good friend.
But you ask - you already wrote about the beignets, what about the gumbo? After all it's in the title!!!
Well..... been waiting on posting on that one. Jeff sampled a few at different establishments. Results VERY mixed. From the obviously pre-frozen bowls of slush, graduating to the nice, to finally finding the ONE!
So best Gumbo on this trip? At the Acme Oyster Bar with an Oyster shooter on the side! He cried. Need I say more!
Pictures on food tab including the last picture which I stole from the internet that sums up everything about everyone we met along the way!
And goodnight!
