Here are some from around the French Quarter...

This bike was chained here the entire time...

I just liked how the different books represent New Orleans.

And, there was live music on the streets everywhere. It was wonderful, like being in a musical!

Jackson Square.

A representation of the homelessness sometimes found in a city such as New Orleans. The people were incredible, though, regardless of their situations.

Little flowers on the Riverwalk.

Not sure why I like this one, but I do. Just a random padlock on the railing at the Riverwalk.

couple more in the next post...

I love this photo of David looking at a ship on the Mississippi River.

Here we are at what turned out to be one of the absolute best meals we've ever eaten! (The restaurant's called Muriel's and we had crawfish/goat cheese crepes for an appetizer, true florida red snapper with mango and raspberry lemon butter sauce for the entree and chocolate and raspberry fontaines with vanilla bean gelato for dessert! It even sounds good typed!

)

Thanks for checking out my photos. I enjoyed taking them, I hope you enjoy looking at them!

Love them all! This one made me laugh, though. Silly Llama.

You and David look cute together. Looks like you had a great time. The meal sounds delicious.

I very much enjoyed seeing these photos, they're really good! Must have been a wonderful trip.

I too had to laugh at the silly Llama.

Awwww thanks for the pics!! I was in New Orleans in 1984 (World's Fair), so I am most happy to see some pics of this fabulous city!! I wonder if you could still see damage from "Katrina" ?
You two look so happy in that pic!!! Nice to "see" you!!

Did you see any tow boats on the river? I don't know when you were there but we could have went by while you were there on the boat I work on. There is so much to see in that French Quarter. The last time I was there we were looking for some art work in all the art galleries down there and if I'd had a million dollars I could have spent it all on art work. I am only about 1 1/2 hours away from N.O. but I hardly ever go... I can't handle the traffic down there.. It makes me a nervous wreck!

The news always has something about the crime down there, it seems to be a lot worse than before Hurrican Katrina and they say it is not safe to go out after dark, even in the French Quarter so I am wondering how Mardi Gras is going to go next week.

I LOVE NEW ORLEANS so much!

If you look at my pictures from NOLA, compared to your's Kari....what a difference!! Great pics! All very professional. You and David are so cute and a perfect couple. That meal sounds delightful. Thanks for sharing!

I love New Orleans and I hope to go back again soon.
