I had some timeshare points I needed to use and so I wanted to go somewhere fairly close so I chose New Orleans. I've never been there so it was way cool to go somewhere new. The boys were ith their dad for a week in July and that's when I went. The hotel I stayed at was nice and the food in New Orleans was good! I rode the streetcar a couple of times. It's quite the ingenious invention. The French Quarter had some cool architecture but was not as exciting as I thought it would be. The Garden District was really nice. The houses are so nice. The majority of them are of the Greek Revival design. I took a guided tour (in which I was the only person) in a really old home called the Ashley House which is said to be haunted. Confederate soldiers stayed there during the "War of Northern Agression" (Whatever!!) Those soldiers ethched names, dates, and poetry on the walls. Very cool to see.
On one of the main streets in "the Quarter" there are still Mardi Gras beads hanging from a street light!
