| The street performers were fantastic! |
Our next stop was New Orleans, LA. We arrived at dusk on Friday night to our urban rv park in the famed French Quarter of New Orleans. We had a great day on Saturday walking around the city! It has recovered somewhat from the hurricane and signs of progress are visible. Our first stop was along Bourbon Street as we made our way to the waterfront along the Mississippi River to the New Orleans Jazz Historical Park.
There was a jazz band in full swing and they included the kids in the music. Peter and Will decided to try their hand with the tambourines! They all got another stamp on their National Park Passport books.
After lunch we sauntered through the open air market in the French Quarter and enjoyed some of the street performers. We saw everything from a magician, to break-dancers, to a mime. We walked around Jackson Square named for our 7th president and visited the Louisiana Museum.
The museum had a fantastic exhibit on the Katrina hurricane and the history of Mardi Gras. We enjoyed dinner out and tried some cajun redfish and gumbo!
