Yesterday we went into town did some exploring and took a tour of the city and the 9th ward. The 9th ward is the area that was so hard hit by Katrina. It was interesting to learn a lot of the history and to get to see areas we might not have seen. We had lunch in the French Quarter on an outside deck. Craw fish again what else.

 This picture was taken along the main blvd of the French Quarter. Carriages line up. You can take a city tour that last about an hour.

 This is one of the paddle boats you can ride on the Mississippi River.

 These next two pictures are of  a New Orleans Cemetery. The first is above ground burial. People are buried above ground because NO is below sea level and when it rains everything floods and bodies float back up. Thus the need to bury in cement blocks. The second picture is a wall in a cemetery. When people can not afford the other they are buried in this wall . 

This is just one of the many many wonderful houses along St Charles. The homes here are beautiful. In 2018 New Orleans will be 300 years old. The architecture here is fantastic. I could spend days just driving up and down streets looking at houses. We have decided to stay a couple of more days, keep finding things we want to do and see. The NCCA final four is here this week end so we will leave by then maybe.
