Typical New Orleans architecture: pastel buildings with wrought-iron balconies. Note the yellow ribbons tied to the posts, a reminder of the war in Iraq. |
| Vendors at the French Market prepare to open |
|  | The French Market is one-stop shopping. You can buy everything from Tabasco sauce to Saints caps to jewelry at the booths. |
| Bookseller at French Market |
| | This bookseller may have been snoozing, but I got the impression that if anyone had reached out a hand to steal a book, he would have been awake in a flash!
The interesting thing is that my daughter photographed this same man last year...except that he was conscious and upright at the time. |

On an earlier trip to New Orleans, we took a paddlewheel steamer on an excursion up the Mississippi River. | | |
| | Vendors and street musicians are everywhere in the Jackson Square area. Here, a musician takes a break between songs. |

The mystery to me was: Whom did these shoes belong to? I didn't see any barefoot tourists in the crowd. |
| | The Café du Monde is one of my favorite places in New Orleans. Here I am, full of beignets. .(See restaurant tips) |
