The Big Easy

As we leave Louisiana today we will remember fondly the peaceful, natural beauty of St. Bernard State Park.  The musicians, magicians, museums, and food of The French Quarter and Jackson Square, and the serene beauty of The Garden District neighborhoods.  New Orleans was historical, very fun, and a bit scary too; after hearing reports of two violent attacks in the area, we always left before dark.

St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continually used cathedral in the U.S., where we attended Mass last Sunday.

Jazz musicians on Royal Street in the French Quarter.

The Oak Alley Plantation, which got it's name from the long line of trees evenly spaced and stretching out to the levy in front of the mansion.  Jerry is standing along the path between the trees below, which were planted In the 1700's.

We celebrated our 36th Wedding Anniversary at The Revelution, a Creole restaurant in the French Quarter, and it was unforgettable!

Westward....Ho!
