<\/a><\/p>\nOn the way out, I saw the maids were cleaning one of the \u2018suites\u2019. Just like ours . . but bigger!!!!<\/p>\n
ahhhhh . . . don\u2019t park your bike on the street over night. Might end up with just the frame and your lock, come morning!!!!<\/p>\n Met Cleo, left, 14 months old, and Cletus, right, 4 years old. They stay in the house with the AC running most of the day but are moving to CA with their owners in two weeks to the Laguna Beach area. Nice dogs!!!!<\/p>\n First stop today was the Garden District, a mile square area, of old, genteel, grand dame, type of homes . . . all very well restored. Nice shady and quiet area. The literature says don’t worry about taking photos . . . the residents are use to it!<\/p>\n Single family home . . .<\/p>\n Nice iron work . . .<\/p>\n I heard some doggy commotion up ahead, sounded like someone defending their territory and it actually ended up being two pups . . .<\/p>\n . . . sounding off to this visiting Great Dane. The owner said she only weighs 116 pounds . . . but she showed the locals pups there was a new dog in town . . .<\/p>\n . . . by tearing the rear quarter panel off this truck parked nearby!!!!!<\/p>\n Nice balconies . . .<\/p>\n Amazing how the oaks down here do their darnedest to hold their ground . . .<\/p>\n . . . filling every available square inch with roots. Wonder what the New Orleans Urban Forestry staff think of this????<\/p>\n Things are REALLY popping here in NOLA . . .<\/p>\n warm . . .<\/p>\n wet and HUMID!<\/p>\n This was a great little neighborhood bar in the middle of the area . . .<\/p>\n . . . with a friendly feel to the place.<\/p>\n You see a lot of these cruiser type bikes around town. Most are rentals.<\/p>\n . . . and GREAT ironwork on buildings and fences. Wonder if it is original?<\/p>\n Pricey to live in this area. This 8 bedroom place was going for $2.9 million!!!!!<\/p>\n WOW . . .<\/p>\n Nicely preserved . . .<\/p>\n This one bordered on being a little too cutesy . . . there was a fake dog in the doghouse!!!!<\/p>\n Lots of home maintenance and forestry trucks in the area. Continuing maintenance to keep these beautiful homes showing their best sides.<\/p>\n Look at that mass of roots . . .<\/p>\n . . . where possible the city is rerouting sidewalks around the trees. Good news, less compaction!!<\/p>\n Here was where Gustov Eiffel started his engineering career, in New Orleans. He started to build the Eiffel Tower in NOLA, but missed his home in Paris, moved back and the rest is history!!!!<\/p>\n So close . . .<\/p>\n At least this hotel is honest!!!!<\/p>\n There’s a movie being shot downtown. Here were some of the production vehicles . . .<\/p>\n . . . I was most interested in the great smells coming from the catering truck . . . lunch time, any samples???<\/p>\n Great old iron work on Canal Street \u00a0. . .<\/p>\n . . . if you don’t feel like walking, this is the best way to get around. $1.25 each way or an unlimited day pass for $3.00!!!!<\/p>\n Some great old signs still hanging around . . .<\/p>\n The waterfront park walk, right on the old Miss . . .<\/p>\n . . . took three tugs to move this barge downstream . . .<\/p>\n . . . musicians and buksters start young in NOLA!!!<\/p>\n The sign said, \u2018Old Man River\u2019 . . . lost in translation?????<\/p>\n I finally got to Caf\u00e9 du Monde, home of the beignet . . .<\/p>\n . . . dough fried in hot oil and \u2018lightly\u2019 sprinkled with powdered sugar . . . what’snot to like!!!!<\/p>\n . . . didn\u2019t take long and they were gone. Great NOLA tradition. May come back here tomorrow!!!<\/p>\n Nice church . . . reminds me of Disneyworld!!!<\/p>\n . . . led me back to Bourbon St on the way to our Inn . . .<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
