New Orleans LA

New Orleans, Louisiana. Home of the French Quarter, amazing cajun food and, the real reason to visit, the Beignets at Cafe Du Monde! The best part of the visit, though, was spending time with Butler and Jill who flew down for the weekend.

 

The weekend was filled with searching out interesting places to sample the local fare.

It’s a city of balconies, mostly for hanging off to view the madras gras parades.

It’s also a city of street artists, musicians and other performers.

The beignets!!

Of course, we end up at the water…

Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans.

Watching street magicians ply their trade.

Interesting concept…

It was a great time with great friends. A highlight was the day at the WWII museum, next post.

 

But if not…
