Brooke and Alyssa wanted to go to Cafe du Monde to experience the chickory coffee and the beignets.

Alyssa's coffee had a layer of I don't know what!
Brooke started to speak after taking a bite of her beignet and the powdered sugar came out in a big puff!!

After Cafe du Monde, we went for a stroll through Jackson Square. It's a pedestrian area where people sell their artwork, play music etc. Fun place to be.

Alyssa flew in this afternoon. We had lunch and then showed her around a bit. Tonight was the Wave Goodbye Party on the Tulane campus. It was HUGE! There were food stations all over the place with food such as Jambalaya, Gumbo, Rice and Beans, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Seafood Bisque, Oysters and then a ton of dessert stations also! The lines were so long, like 100 people on each line. While we were waiting on line, the girl in front of us told her friend that the people working at the stations said that you can just walk up and even take the food from the sides of the stations. Scott and Alyssa got brave and did just that! Throughout the party, we were able to taste almost every type of food that they had. The jazz band played almost the entire time which was very nice.
