再見了,新奧爾良!我們要去海上的家,乘坐遊輪繼續向南漂行。
本來是一個浪漫的告別儀式,沿著密西西比河畔的月亮道(Moon Walk),一直走到上遊輪的碼頭,Google Map說全程是12 分鍾。
但是天公不作美,一出門就淅瀝瀝下起了小雨,商店招牌上的小狗也被淋濕了。

雨下大了,兒子聳聳肩滿不在乎。可是我不願做個落湯雞,堅持叫了一輛出租車,於是被狠狠地斬了一刀,付了平時三倍的價錢。
遊輪是塊忘憂的寶地,站在甲板上環視美麗的都市,所有的不快都煙消雲散了。
新月城連接(Crescent City Connection)是一座雙懸臂大橋(twin cantilever bridges),90號公路在上麵通行。

又來到了海上的家,有人泡茶煮飯,有人整理房間,又可以過上飯來張口、衣來伸手的日子了。
知道什麽叫做賽天仙?依靠著遊輪的欄杆,品茗著香濃的熱茶,遠有高樓大廈養眼,近有船上娛樂消遣,再加一根四通八達的無線上網,還有比之更開心的時光嗎?微信來,微信去,朋友的節日遊,一個比一個精彩。世界如此微小,五湖四海收於掌心,生活如此博大,歡聲笑語越洋傳遞。



我們起航了,再次領略路易斯安那最大的城市。

錯過了的月亮道

再次欣賞名聞遐邇的法國街區。

你好,傑克遜廣場上的聖路易斯大教堂!

然後出現了煉油廠,人見人恨的汙染之源。
新奧爾良位於海邊,海邊開采石油不算意外,油源邊上建煉油廠也不算意外。令人意外的是煉油廠竟然如此之美,如夢如幻,靈秀水畔,宛如一片來自天外的異類美景。




天色漸暗,我們開始熟悉新家。
中央大廳是交通樞紐。

民以食為天,自助餐廳是率先光顧的。

晚上在雅座用餐,這個菠蘿餅做得不錯吧。

夜色降臨了,到了我每日一泡的時刻,噢,海上的家溫馨而又美好!
