We are now on our winter vacation , have left the frozen Apple for the warmer climes of the South first stop New Orleans , we stayed in the French Quarter , lovely old brightly painted wooden buildings lots of pretty streets to wander round , a tourists delight , then there's the live music everywhere , the bustling CBD , the Garden district with it's Antebellum mansions , The suburb of Treme originally a Creole suburb where the wealthy plantation owners set up part time homes with their Afo American mistresses , having second families and educating these children in Europe, interesting , must read up on the story, we also saw some of the remains of the 9th Ward after Katrina , wow what a devastating Hurricane
New Orleans a great place , can only imaging how much fun it is during Mardi gras , who knows we may have to revisit in April.
