NOLA in Pictures

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my New Orleans trip!

Gator on our tour of Honey Island Swamp


 Gator know as "Stumpy" because of his missing tail


Honey Island Swamp


 Saint Louis Cathedral at Jackson Square


 Window on Pirate's Alley. Notice the Mardi Gras beads. They're everywhere. They don't even bother trying to clean them up. This was noticable on St.Charles Street which is part of the parade route. The beads were strung on the telephone lines, electrical lines, haning in trees, etc.


 The Anne Rice house in the historic Garden District. Love the Tim Burton-esque tree limb.


View from the front porch of the slave's quarters at the Laura Creole Plantation


So dear readers, have you ever been to New Orleans? Pre or post Katrina? What did you think? If you haven't been do you have any desire to visit?
