We had a wonderful trip to New Orleans and now are back in gray old Maine, where at least we missed the cold snap. It was 70 or so in NOLA and a joy to be outdoors. Last year we visited the Botanical Gardens and saw them stringing Christmas lights for a big show that started Dec. 1, after we had left. So this year we did make it to
Celebration in the Oaks in City Park, and it was spectacular, just magic for kids. And we heard lots of music, and saw a parade (not a very good one, but we did catch beads), and walked and walked and walked. But the best part of New Orleans is always the food, and we did perhaps a little too much along those lines this year. But WOW was it good. Short video is forthcoming.
Fantastic!! Loved the video. Brought back fond memories of visits in my 20s. I am fairly sure I'll never see the pubs on a bourbon Street - at least not in the middle of the night - ever again. But the music! The food! The people! It's the best city in the whole world. Thanks for sharing.
