New Orleans

After visiting with Jason’s mother and brother for several days in Austin, we headed over to New Orleans.  We’ve both been several times before, but not since Katrina.  French Quarter hadn’t changed much.

The famous Jackson Square.

It was our worst day, weather wise – cold & rainy, but some coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde helped.

No crowds on Bourbon Street – infact street performers were even set up.

Love all the balconies and just wandering around town – so nice without the crowds!

And, you have to have a hurricane..

We also did a walking tour of the Garden District – we learned a lot about the history.  I love those kinds of tours.
