New Orleans - 1

I had the great opportunity to visit New Orleans in July of 2008. Here are a few pictures I took around town. The people were very, very nice and appreciative of the help the city was receiving from any number of groups who are assisting in the rebuilding of the Crescent City, and for the tourists that were returning to spend their vacations there. All were most welcome!

I saw this sign in several places around New Orleans and could indeed feel it being lived out by the citizens of the city. 

                                         

Winston Churchill

 

                                           

Riverwalk Marketplace, located right by the banks of the Mighty Mississippi!

                                           

The Creole Queen. I was fortunate to be able to take a jazz dinner cruise on the Creole Queen during my visit!

 

                                           

Just had to take a picture of this restaurant in New Orleans called "Fat Tuesday!"

That's all for today. Part 2 tomorrow!
