It is romantic to spend the evening sight seeing the French Quarters on a buggy. We couldn’t help but notice that the designs of wrought iron railings are uniquely different on every balcony.

great pages, glad that u saw it before Katrina ! | AlbuqRay Sun Sep 18, 2005 20:05 UTC
Yasmine, a thoughtful tribute to a place that needs to be remembered, so many lives have been affected. However, I imagine it will not be long before the French Quarter and Garden District are back in action. Let's hope they take care of other areas too. | Birsen Sat Sep 17, 2005 18:42 UTC
