New Orleans architeture
New Orleans is a wonderful city for food and fun. Bourbon STreet is known for its bars, restaurants and pubs. But it also fun just to walk around the city and look for the interesting architecture. Here are some from our walk today.

A French Quarter visit
The weather was cool but sunny, a perfect day for a visit to the French Quarter! Of course, we started out at the obligatory Cafe du Monde with Begnets, always a treat. Followed by a walk along the Riverfront, back through Bourbon Street and eventually through the Farmers Market. Got some king cake and pralines, too.
Then a nice lunch at Kenny’s Seafood, a local fresh fish store as well as a restaurant. Great day!

City Park, New Orleans, LA
City Park, New Orleans is as unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor park has been a New Orleanians favorite since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels for generations.
It is pretty impressive to see such a well developed park right near the downtown of a major city! In addition to walking and cycling paths, there are lakes, birds, playing fields, rental buggies and more. Plus, the NO Museum of Art is located here, as well as the Botanical Gardens. Guess we’ll have to do make another visit!
