Summary
In this episode we answer more of your questions about New Orleans. We received so many questions for episode 67 that we decided to do another Q&A show. This time I am joined by Julie Couret, whose roots run to the earliest days of New Orleans. She is a New Orleanian, a mom, a co-parent, the owner of a small business, and a blogger over at NOLA Mom's Blog (phew!).
The questions cover everything from what are the biggest mistakes tourists make, to where New Orleanians like to go on vacation. We also talk about Tales of the Cocktail, garbage collection at Mardi Gras, how to survive the Summer heat, and lots more!
