New Orleans

This fall my mom and I went to New Orleans.  It's a really cool city!

The Mississippi River

Jackson Square

The St. Louis Cathedral.

Here are some pictures inside the old church.

The alter and Tabernacle.

There were Frescos of the Saints on the ceiling.

This is the only copy os St. Louis's bible.

There were trollies all over the city.

We got a day pass and toured the city.

The old Usuline Convent.  Nuns still live there, and part of the building is a museum.

Sadly, it was closed for renovation, so we couldn't see it.

Once an old blacksmith shop in the 1800's, this building is now a bar.

This is the paddle boat, Natchez, which takes tourists up the river daily.

Behind this once plantation home is the battlefield of the Battle of New Orleans, hence the memorial.

We also took a carriage tour of the French quarter and the first cemetery in New Orleans.

Finally, we made sure we picked up some beignets before we headed back to the airport.

This picture was taken from the sky deck of our hotel.

New Orleans is such a beautiful city and there are so many things to do! I would go back in a heart beat.
