NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANNA JANUARY 11, 2014


New Orleans here we come!   Crossing Lake Pontchartrain on a 22 mile long bridge.  The roads in Southern Louisianna seem to be mostly bridges.

At Cafe du Monde...getting ready to have our first beignets!

Coffee & Beignets...now you see them...

Now you don't!   They were delicious!!

St. Louis Cathedral from Jackson Square

Inside St. Louis Cathedral....beautiful

The French Market

Inside the market...time for a little shopping

Below are just a few of the street characters, performers and musicians we saw along the way:


This is NOT a statue...what a way to make a living!

One of the great street bands

These were little kids tap dancing for $

One man band!

This was a dancing "statue"

This guy was something...only one of his many stunts!

So far this woman (in the center) with the clarinet was the most amazing musician we have heard.   She also had a beautiful singing voice.
