October 23rd update
Bennett went to the Mardi Gra’s World Tour this morning where there are Colorful Mardi Gras props, beautiful parade floats like a gigantic jovial jester, fiercely realistic alligators, authentic carnival costumes, several sculptures and amazing fantasy factory. He said he took lots of pictures on a disposable camera.
His phone charger broke last night so his phone isn’t charged so I haven’t been able to talk to him very much today and he wasn’t able to take any pictures to send me on his phone.
They had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe that has a large balcony that looks over the French Quarters and the Mississippi River.

Next on their schedule this afternoon was to bowl at the AMF All Star Bowling Lanes. He said it was pretty fun. They ate dinner at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro which was in a mall. He ordered shrimp dumplings since he doesn’t like chinese food very good.
They went shopping at the mall. Bennett said it was the biggest mall he has ever been too. This evening they went to a place that had go carts and they played laser tag.
Bennett said he isn’t ready to come home yet that he is having a great time.
