NOLA

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.
