Oh, yeah. That was fun! Weather was perfect – mid-80s all week. Cooking classes were fantastic. Location couldn’t have been better.
Casa Pelican is a B&B and a cooking school in historic Algiers Point. It’s a quiet residential neighborhood – but it’s a five minute ferry ride away from the French Quarter. So the best of both worlds. If you’re old, getting around New Orleans is dirt cheap. I bought the 31-day senior pass to everything – trollies, ferries, and busses – for $14.00, and just rode everywhere. They’ve got an absolutely enormous World War II museum, and a first class art museum.
Karen Duncan ran a Cajun restaurant in Toronto for 15 years, and then moved down here. The school and B&B is her retirement project. Breakfast every morning – and I don’t mean granola and toast. Sausage gravy and biscuits; omelet and bacon; pancakes and sausage – I didn’t eat many lunches out because I was still full from breakfast.
Did some cooking:
Did some drinking:
Did some sightseeing:
And a good time was had by all. Fun trip!
That looks like an amazing experience, and the food looks delicious! What a great travel plan!
It was SO much fun. And you know that first day of snow we had here last week? It was 85 there.
Now you are just trying to make me super jealous!!! I’m so glad you got to go, and now that is on my bucket list! : )
