Day 3:

We took the self guided "Katrina Tour" :)
Drove Scenic Route along the Highway 90 from MS to New Orleans.
Saw all the land Katrina flooded land, went over a bunch of nice cool/bridges.

Drove around the French quarters seemed creepy and weird.

Ended up the Hyatt Downtown, chilled over there for a bit, took the elevator to the top floor for the cool view of New Orleans, and the Superdome.
Then kind of by mistake/ kind of on purpose, went on the one of the longest bridges in the world, the bridge over lake Pontchartrain, the bridge has 7 crossovers and is around 23 miles long.

Kosher Cajun - nice little kosher supermarket, with a restaurant and Judaica. 

Flew out MSY.
