Lousiana - New Orleans day 4

 We arrived to Lousiana at 6am in the morning. We found a mall pretty close with a starbucks where sat for awhile and waited and had breakfast. It was still pretty cold outside.

 

Here is the first streetcar we saw at Canalstreet.

 

 

I think it reminds about how I imagine Los Angeles will be.

 

 

A cool car.

 

 

 

 We went to the French Quarters.

 

 

 

 

A museum/information backyard.

 

 

Some information.

 

 

Like the one in Forrest Gump!

 

 

 

I wanted to go with this boat so badly, but it was closed that day.. It would have been cool with a tour at Mississippi river!

 

 

 

 

 

It was sunny outside bu very windy so we kept pretty much all of our clothes on.

 

 

We passed this restaurant and I thought it looked cozy. Later we ended up there.

 

 

 

 

St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just like in a fairytale.

 

 

New Orleans is famous for their masks and they had had a parade or something a week before we came there. They decorate stuff outside, like balconys and trees etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A sooooo cozy french café. We ended up here too later.

 

 

Here I bought New Orleans famous pralines and a little thing that looked like meringue with a nut on it.

 

 

Streetcar among Canal street.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After awhile we deciced to go to the city park so we went with one of the streetcars.

 

 

 

 

The City Park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's so much bigger than you could imagine so we just walked around one edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Orleans Museum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the candy I bought!

 

 

It looks so warm, but it was actually really cold because of the wind.

 

 

 

 

 

So many musicians on the streets, it was so fun to see!

 

 

Another backyard.

 

 

Here we had lunch at the cozy french restaurant.

 

 

Terese had New Orleans speciality - Beignets.

I didn't really get the point with them. It's like a toast with powdered sugar.. But it was great to try!

 

 

 

The both had a cat and plenty of little birds in the café.

 

 

 

Then we went to Lafayette park.

 

 

 

 

Here we must have seen someone famous!

 

 

 

A miniature of a streetcar.

 

 

 

We went to a WW2 museum. Here was the history of american football.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They showed a 15-20 minute long movie. Terese and I were so tired so watched it for four times. It was so nice just to sit down after all the walking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are soldiers in front of the flag.

 

 

 

 

Julia was with us all the time.

 

 

On the other side of that famous people there were still cars adn paparazzi. I wonder what happend.

 

 

Casino next to the mall/our busstop. But we never went inside, you have to be 21...

 

 

 

 

The fancy mall. We actually went up to the 11th floor later that night (to brush our teeth at that restroom), in those glass elevators - so cool!!

 

 

Later that night we went to the restaurant for some Po-boy sandwishes Lori told me about.

 

 

 

 I had one with shrimps and Terese with grilled chicken. This was not my favorite, it was just bread with some fried shrimps and some vegetables and mayo-sauce. But now I have tried it.

 

 

The restaurant was so cozy from the outside. I think it would be nice to sit out here a hot summerday.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.

I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same
outcome.
