Where did our week go?

Thursday: Our last full day in New Orleans

We rode all 3 streetcars (Riverfront, Canal & St. Charles).  We rode the St. Charles thru the Garden District to see the houses lit up at nite (and decorated for Halloween!).   

While sipping wine at the Cabildo, we listened to a lecture on the fading of the Creole history.  The Cabildo is on the register of historic places; it is where the Louisiana Purchase was signed.

We drank margarita and sangria.

We strolled the French Quarter.  OF COURSE!

We visited City Park with its sculpture garden  ...





 ... and botanic gardens.




We dined on the balcony at the French Quarter Inn, enjoying gumbo and red beans & rice, under the still full moon, with jazz from across the street floating up to our ears.
