Around 5:30 pm we walked into the main part of the Quarter, only a few blocks away from the RV resort, to check on the 8:15 pm jazz show at Preservation Hall. We had attended the show in 1983 (it was excellent), but of course, those performers had all passed away. There was no one in line for the show at 6:00 pm, so we ate dinner at Pat O’Brien’s restaurant next door. Pat had one of their famous drinks, a Hurricane, before dinner, which consisted of delicious shrimp dishes for both of us.
We got in line for the jazz show after dinner and waited almost an hour for the doors to open. The show was good, but not great like the last one almost 30 years ago. However, the rest of the crowd seemed to enjoy it very much. I think another reason we found the show not up to par was because we had attended the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival last year, and the traditional jazz groups we heard there were all excellent. On the advice of the front office staff of the RV resort, we took a taxi back to the RV, even though it was only a few blocks away.

We have many interesting activities planned for tomorrow and the next day, some of which involve more good New Orleans food.
