Colorful New Orleans. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . it was a fun time and a great place 

to visit!!! 

The 'Big Easy' - round-the-clock nightlife, street musicians, cajun food,

 'Hurricane' drinks, color, hot, humid, noisy, busy, dirty, sparkly, live music, 

French, jazz, jazz, and more jazz. . . . . . . a city of contrasts, live oaks,

 beads, trolley cars, wrought iron balconies and flowers.

~ Preservation Hall ~

The hour of traditional jazz here in the tiny, historic space (thankful I'd made

 reservations for seats) was the hilight of my visit. 

~ St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square ~

NOLA. . . . . and all that jazz!

Off to hear real jazz and have a fun time!

See you here next week.

Thanks for all the kind remarks about my living room makeover - 

you really are the best of friends.
