Dang missed the jazz fest....
 

I've got a buddy coming from Germany and he really wants to see New
Orleans - Heck, I've never been there but the schedules won't work. He will
be here for the month of July....so the jazz fest is out.

He is interested to see what the USA is all about so if you have any local
doings or goings on that you would care to recommend, please do so...It
looks like we will staying mainly on the eastern side of the bug muddy...

Depending on when in July, and what he's used to in Germany, New Orleans might
should be out. In late July, New Orleans can be _oppressive_ heat/humidity-
wise. While the temps might not seem too bad (90-95F), with 100% humidity and
the sun shining, no real breeze to speak of, and you can become sweat-soaked
walking a block. OTOH, if it's early July or you're lucky weather-wise, it
shouldn't be too bad. If y'all do decide to say, "Screw it, we're going...,"
the Gulf Coast of MS, AL, and/or FL would make a good respite and give him a
view and general flavor of the "deep southern" part of the US. If you didn't
know it and it matters, they aren't really any "swimming beaches" until you get
to eastern Alabama/Florida, and then, they pretty much stop about the
mid-Panhandle and don't pick up again until just north of Tampa, but there is
still quite a lot to see and do from NO to about Apalachicola that would be
generally different than what a central European would consider "same ol'-same
ol'. I can't imagine a well-traveled central European, in general and with
limited time, wanting to spend much time in the Smokies, Appalachians, the Texas
Hill Country, etc., unless they are really into hills/mountains, but ???

You don' t indicate any time limits, so heck, follow the river down to New
Orleans and if it's bearable, spend some time, if not, spend a day and move on
to the coast. Follow the coast (if you want to save time, cut around the bend
in Florida - say interstate from Panama City or so to Tampa or so - look at a
map and it'll make sense - there's not much different to see or do between these
points) down and around to the Keys and back up the eastern seaboard to as far
up as time allows and desire warrants, then cut back across to home. I'd offer
you'd get a pretty good idea of what the US is about east of the Mississippi by
doing so, but hey, YMMV...literally and figuratively...
