Woke late and booked a boat tour of the swamplands. Was picked up by bus, and driven out. Met two Americans who were also doing our boat tour -- she spoke just like Minnie Mouse! Not a very informative tour but it was a nice peaceful change to drift on the water instead of walk through the inner cities. Upon our return we took the street car back into town and went to the public library for some Internet time. Sent Mandy lots of personal e-mails. Had jambalaya (crawfish pie, fillet gum bole ….) for tea in the French Quarter, then back to the hostel to sort and pack. The hostel is just like the city -- has potential but rather neglected.
