Entrance to the River Walk in downtown New Orleans.
The mighty Mississippi as it flows through NO.
Street car in the square.
Palm trees line the streets.
Huck Finns is a great place to wait for a city tour.
Super Jambalaya!
I tried the alligator sausage "po-boy".
Chris had a shrimp "po-boy".
Louie Armstrong Park
We toured three cemeteries in the city area.
Many sites showed damage of the Katrina floods.
The history of the cemeteries go back to the 1700's.
Evidence of Katrina still occupies the city.
Code markings on the buildings identify the safety status and number of dead found on the site.
A small display shows the water height (blue posts) as compared to a home structure during the flooding.
This home is one of hundreds built by the Brad Pitt Project.
Pitt has spent over five million dollars of his own money on this project.
Since New Orleans has been influence by both Spanish and french owners, the buildings are of mixed styles.
The french quarter is a wild site to experience!!
