Sightseeing

I took my second boat ride across the Mississippi yesterday morning, courtesy of the US Navy. Dental is located on the west bank on the Naval station and they operate a shuttle between the two banks. It was a rather nice morning boat ride, although a bit on the warm and muggy side. Fortunately, I get to take another one later in the month to get a cavity filled. I wish I had a picture to go along with this post, but aside from looking exceptionally foolish to others, I wasn't sure if it would be considered a security violation since a Navy ship was berthed alongside the pier.

Today I had a chance to see the Market District in the French Quarter. But only briefly. . . . I was more concerned with breathing at the time to care about sightseeing. The new boss of the Logistics branch thought it would be motivating to take everyone for a run (typical practice for new bosses.) While not acclimated yet, I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, I just succeeded in looking pathetic. . . . in front of everyone. Anyway, while running by, I got a glimpse of it and thought it definitely worth exploring at my own leisure.

I was actually down there last night for a promotion party. Unfortunately, I didn't go anywhere but the restaurant it was being held at, but it was right next door to the French Market. I will take your advice and hit the places you recommend!
