The Big Easy

New Orleans or as they say the Big Easy. We have arrived woohoo it's party time! Our RV park is only about a 10 minute drive from the French Quarters and of coarse that's were we are headed this morning to see just what all this commotion is about. Wow it hard to explain if you haven't been here before how different and exciting it is.
We decided to take a bus tour through several districts of the city so we could get some ideas on were we would like to return to for a closer look throughout the week.

                                    No contrary to what you might think that's not me with Nola

Here are some pictures of our tour in the Garden District of New Orleans. These Century home's are unbelievable.
                                 One of the many carriage rides available from the Jackson Square                                            
                                               This home has corn cobs scriptural fencing     
                                           
                                              This home was once owned y the novelist Ann Rice

Sandra Bullock's home
                                                                       John Goodman's home


After the Garden District tour we went for super at Chartres House Restaurant on Toulouse Street inside the French Quarter 


Up on the second level deck overlooking the street we had a great dinner of Cajun Chicken, Jambalaya, Chicken Gumbo, and Crawfish it was fabulous.
