Last weekend, we took a quick trip to New Orleans for Azusa’s company Christmas party.  Approximately 30+ employees and guests from all offices including: Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Of course we all took a walk down Bourbon Street and checked out some jazz lounge, bars, and a gay club.  Almost all in the same night!  Believe me, the streets are even crazier than what the pictures can show!

Apparently, we had a great view from our hotel

Mainly we stayed in the French Quarter and shopped around the little alleys and streets.  What a truely unique and interesting area with carriages, sidewalk performances, galleries, and selections of foods.

I particularly enjoyed the historical structures of the French Quarter and the many quaint shops in the district.

The Christmas party was a banquet at a very nice restaurant that I’m forgetting the name to; serving Creole cuisine and yes, open bar for the evening!  They did gift exchanges for each offices and as you will see in the rest of the gallery, everyone ended up drinking upon receiving their gifts!

Not sure when we’ll ever visit New Orleans again but overall we had a wonderful sunny weekend and we’ll enjoy the memories!
