New Orleans

This morning we got a ride into New Orleans and into the French quarter where we began to explore the area to see what we could find. We decided to take a carriage ride to learn some history and to hopefully see more without walking everywhere. For lunch Tim chose to stop at the place where the po boy began. When a grocer decided to create a sandwich for the poor workers with bread and meat and sell it for a reasonable price and today they make them with a multitude of various ingredients. To me, it is a Orleans version of a submarine sandwich.

We did some more walking and looking and then took a ride on the streetcar and headed towards the Garden District. Upon arriving and making a few miscalculations we finally find the place to start on our walking tour. We walked slowly as my foot, the one I broke a year and a half ago, was giving me some pain, but then again we did have to walk carefully as the sidewalks were very, very uneven.

There were a variety of homes to be seen and the weather was perfect. It was a lovely day to take a walk. We got back on the streetcar to take a longer ride up Saint Charles Ave and see some more old homes and then to turn around and come back towards the French Quarter. After more walking we stopped for supper at Muriel's in Jackson Square. We had a delicious supper! More walking and then we called for our ride back to Jude Travel Park.

All, in all we had an enjoyable day and a good visit in New Orleans.

Thank you God for all that is good.
