French Quarter

Hi All,

We are in New Orleans for a few days. This morning we went on a guided tour of the French Quarter.

Here's Jackson Square.


A closer look at the steeple.

Metal balcony railings are very common. Originally they were wrought iron, later, more ornate cast iron.

They really are ornate!

Many balconies had hanging ferns or other flowers. Check out the woman on the left near the black Jeep. "Open Containers " are not prohibited, more likely mandatory in New Orleans.

This balcony was really an open greenhouse.

You don't need to speak French to shop here. You do need endurance though. It is a block wide and three blocks long!

Lots of street bands. It's like Nashville with a lot of brass.
Love,
