so what could be better.
Jackie O's and a view across the street, it's just in a bit of a shopping Mall, you probably can't see but all the buildings are new because they were knocked down during the hurricane.
Decided that New Orleans is better to be seen on a Saturday, so with a bit of luck me and a guy from Middlesbrough with a couple of the locals to show us around are going in the next week or two.
Michele who’s from Middlesbrough and been to New Orleans before made me laugh. I asked him what it’s like as it got a bit of a bad rap now crime wise after the hurricane, he said it reminded him of Middlesbrough on a Saturday night not quite sure if that’s good or bad.
That was pretty much Saturday over, now it’s Sunday. Decided to go over to Wal-Mart as I needed some things for work, just got my site office but I came without furniture and I need a fridge and things like that.
Decided to go there and while there check out the outlet Mall which is just over the road for any good deals. Had seen the outlet Mall the last time I was driving that way so knew where to go. These Outlet Malls are pretty good if you like that kind of thing, can get some pretty good deals, lots of shops like Nike, THilfiger, Polo, Banana Republic and the like. Not sure I have any room in my cases to buy more cloths or if i need any but maybe I can throw some old ones away or ship some back, will have to think
about it.

Done the shopping thing got what I wanted, decided that as I was over this way would go to the casino again, which was pretty much in the same town.
Went to the Hard Rock casino again then went to a new on called the Beau Rivage, they’re fairly close to each other. Apparently before the hurricane casinos in Mississippi had to be on the water, basically on big barges, didn’t move just a loophole to get round the law, they all got wrecked during the storm though. After that they changed the law, casinos can now be land based but must be within about 50 foot of the water.
Didn’t seem so many people gambling to day but did watch some of the games, lots of money changing hands, lot of people just sat there playing slot machines, maybe it’s me but can’t see the attraction, I know you can win a lot of money but it’s not for me.

The two above are in the Hard Rock, the jackpot on the bandits looked good to me, never heard of Fortune Pai Gow though. There are a lot of Chinese and Vietnamese around, guess they are catering for the clientel.
The other two are in the Beau Rivage, they even have machines built into the bar that you can play while having a drink
Took this on the way home just because i like the look of Harley's, bit dark but there were three, about $60,000 worth
Am pretty much up to date with this blog now well at least for a while, am actually going to write about something on the day I post, today Monday the 17th. As I said earlier got my site trailer now, and literally just up the road form the trailer 50yds is a small sort of puddle/bog type hole, was walking past earlier today and look what I saw, had to go back and get the camera but just laying there a little alligator.
