NEW ORLEANS

No. 
I have absolutely no idea either.

A touch of Mardi Gras.  
Just one of the many, many parades around town 
throughout the month leading up to the big night.

Spanning the mighty Mississippi
The French Quarter


St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square
More Parades 
The Mystic Crewe of Barkus
is proof this town is going to the dogs.
At least for an afternoon!


The Natchez is the fastest Steam powered paddle wheeler in history
and an elegant old lady as well.
Oil refineries, The industry behind the city
Looking out from astern on the Natchez
Bayou neighbours

These guys taste great deep fried.
But keep you hands out of the water
unless you want to step a few rungs down the food chain
Bayou fishing cabin


Two out of three not thrilled with the present situation.

Ready for Mardi Gras, Bourbon St. or whatever.

Historically significant and fun for tourists
but it doesn't hold a candle to the red rockets in Downtown Toronto.
Ours can stop traffic (literally!)
