It was clear, sunny and hot in New Orleans. The car show was fine with several examples of some very nice cars, including a very nice AC Ace. This is the sports car that Carroll Shelby liked so much, he bought all the factory output and stuffed big V-8 engines in them, creating the Shelby Cobra.

There was also a McLaren MP4-12C. This is not a vintage sports car, but a new supercar. But, it is British!

The show was held on the campus of Delgado Community College. There is a pond on campus and several waterfowl which have become very used to people. Several ducks wondered up and people started feeding them.

After the show, we went back to the hotel to clean up a little, then off to dinner at Pascal's Manale restaurant, a fixture in New Orleans since 1913! This is one of the places on our to-do list for this trip and it did not disappoint. The service is great and the food was outstanding. Gumbo, oysters Bienville, steak with hollandaise and crabmeat, flounder with BBQ shrimp and caramel flan. All delicious. Then, back to the hotel to relax and plan the trip home tomorrow.
