NOLA

Post by Quetzalsailor »

We're in NOLA, that is New Orleans, Louisiana, or N'awleens, Loosyana. It's the festive week before Mardi Gras, and it's zoo-ey enough for us! Today's treat was the Krewe of Barkus parade. Haven't seen anything at all in the small, beautiful boat department, but the genuine French, Spanish, and indigenous architecture from the 1720's through the 19th c., in the Vieux Carre, and the Faubourg Marigny is exceedingly satisfactory to me! There was a major fire here in about 1815, so most buildings date from afterward.

Thanks for the picture. I absolutely love this city. This will be only the second Mardi Gras I have missed in the last 12 years and I am not a happy camper.
