07. Pardi Gras Wrap-Up
Sunday, January 20th, 2019
After 2 really long and intense days, Pardi Gras definitely winds down on Sunday. Similarly, everyone is pretty tired and sluggish, so we went back to an old favorite for brunch, Cafe Pontalba. I got a egg and sausage breakfast po boy that was awesome - exactly what I needed to get moving!
The whole afternoon was upstairs at the Tropical Isle listening to Brent Burns, Bill Whyte, and Matt Hoggatt tell songs and stories. It was fun, funny, and a nice relaxing end to the weekend.
It ended just around when the Saints lost the NFC Championship Game, so Bourbon Street and most of the French Quarter was packed and still pretty crazy. A nice quiet drink and dinner at Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 to close out the trip seemed like a great ending for a pretty low-key day.

After brunch I went on a little stroll around the french market. Amazingly, I still had enough trinkets and hot sauces from previous trips to New Orleans that I REFRAINED FROM MAKING ANY PURCHASES!!!!
I did find a lost pigeon wandering around a store. Luckily I spotted the pigeon before stepping into what happens when scared pigeons are lost in stores.
