New Orleans Narrative

544 Words3 Pages

During spring break I went to New Orleans. I went with my mom, dad, brothers Jim and Bob, along with my sister Barbara. While in New Orleans we stopped at Bourbon St. It was a good experience but I don't want to go down that street again. We did stop at a restaurant called the Heat, it was very good I would recommend going there, you really don't even notice the weird crazy people walking on the streets. Well what happened on Bourbon street was mostly Easter. Everybody was dressed up like Easter bunnies and some people were a dress with boas, others in finely ironed pin stripped suits.

We saw a lot of birds, and when we got to the turn around spot the guy who was driving the boat whistled and a bunch of wild boars came out and started begging for food. Well we didn't have any so we felt really bad, just as we were about to sit down the guy handed us some marshmallows to feed to them, we did and they tried jumping up on the boat and eating more, it was so cute. Once we were heading back some guy on the boat had noticed something on a log up ahead, well there it was an alligator, sunbathing on log to keep warm.
