NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

Monday we spent the day in New Orleans, LA.  what a day, I took so many pictures and walked for so many hours our feet felt like they would fall off.  This is just a collection of a few of the pictures we took. My cousin Chuck lives there so he was our tour guide for the day.... thank goodness as Manuel would have said we are out of here...... but Chuck just keep telling him to go somewhere else.  loved it....



This is Jackson Square, in the French Quarters, artist are creating their works for you to watch.  The open air market was huge and so much fun to stroll through, everything from fruits and vegtables to artists, clothing, nic nacks, jewelry, wood crafts all kinds of gifts and antiques.
The buildings were beautiful, old old old..... the buildings on royal street have stories of each one..... the architecture WOW
New Orleans has more National Historic Landmarks than any other city in the United States.  St. Charles Ave is an architectural tour to see, we took in Queen Anne Revival mansions, quaint bed and breakfats, and churches etc.
