Downtown New Orleans

First thing this morning after having breakfast, we took a ride on the Ferry.  Here are some pictures of our ride.

After the Ferry ride, we went out for a drive to the Downtown/French Quarter areas. I was not really impressed. We had been here over 30 years ago and it sure has changed. It is very congested, the streets are very narrow and it is nothing like what I remember. Seems like a lot of work is being done to clean up the last storm's mess. Anyway, here are some pictures of what we saw….
