Do you know what it means...

to miss New Orleans.
And miss it each night and day.
I know I am not wrong.

OK.OK, I am a New Orleans fan.  I know many are not.   




We stayed in the secure French Quarter RV Park right beside the I10.




















We could walk to the French Quarter. And we did stopping to see some live music in Treme on the way.











It was St. Patrick's Day. so we joined in the hoopla.





































The highlight of this trip was going to Congo Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon after mass with the (retired) Archbishop of New Orleans and a visit to the French marketplace.









We finished our trip by taking the Canal Street street car to the lovely City Park area. Confederate President Jefferson Davis waved goodbye as we returned to our home away from home.


We enjoyed our visit.  Local people were very positive and upbeat and seem to have completely recovered from Katrina in 2007.
