Day 20 - To New Orleans and Mardi Gras Sunday

Today we traveled from San Antonio, Texas, to New Orleans, Louisiana, which took about 8 hours. We did a quick stop-over in Houston to see the office of Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, also known as Dr. Now, an Iranian-American surgeon, TV personality, and author. He specializes in vascular surgery and bariatric surgery. He is known for helping morbidly obese patients lose weight on the TLC reality television series My 600-lb Life. We are huge fans of that show... no pun intended.
Shane was worried he cheated on his diet too much and didn't make his weight goal this month.
I hope I have finally lost enough so that Dr. Now will perform my skin removal surgery.
We finally made it to the Big Easy after some bad traffic near the hotel. We immediately went out to the nearby Mardi Gras Parade to collect beaded necklaces. We luckily found lots of them discarded in the street.

Finally found Waldo.
Stopped in to hear some music.
Shane had a job interview while we were in town
There is a house in New Orleans, it's called the Rising Sun. 
We had a great dinner at Muriel's... Shane had Shrimp and Grits and I had the Pork Chops.
I believe this guy was in the Dick Tracy comic strip.
We went back to this club after dinner and heard more from another band.
It was quite crowded and the aroma of pot and puke mixed in the air. We decided to call it a night.
