Beautiful streets

Love these big old trees

So today we explored New Orleans and the French Quarter. What an experience. It's so different than what we're used to. As we drove toward the French Quarter, the remnants of Mardi Gras could be seen in the trees still filled with beads and all over the telephone wires as well.

The huge, old trees dripping in moss were just beautiful.

We got to the French Quarter and ate at Johnny's Po' Boy. Have to have a Po'Boy when you come to New Orleans. Long line, but worth the wait. So many of the buildings on and around Bourbon Street are empty and have for sale/for rent signs on them, we were told since Katrina it's been like that.

We met a local that was quite colorful, and gave us lots of information about the area.
