Our Trip to New Orleans, Louisiana before heading back home to Florida

Leaving Texas, we went to Louisiana.

 

I was surprised to see this large of a city with its population living at sea level (some areas below sea level!)

 

The famous Bourbon Street can be seen below.

 

A closer look at Bourbon street shows some of the musicians. Below you can see a drummer playing the different rhythms. Sorry you can't hear the neat beats!

 

The trolley cars were amazing to watch.

 

Below you can see one that we rode for some distance.

 

I enjoyed watching how the driver guided his trolley along its track with the ding, ding and clang, clang of its bell to let other traffic know we were in the right of way.

 

 We were taken through the "French Quarter" where there were so many beautiful homes!

 

 

 Alice and Jane went out in the evening to walk down Bourbon Street. Brenda and I stayed in our hotel for the walk would be too much for us. We were really tired out!

Before we turned in for the night, we had dinner. I just had to get their Jambalaya, Crayfish pie, filet gumbo! It was delicious!   

 

Leaving Louisiana, we traveled through the tips of Mississippi and Alabama before coming back to our starting point in Florida!

Seventeen states in fourteen days, all by the way of traveling in our van. It was all so enjoyable, but as the saying goes, "There's no place like home!"
