There 2 things that New Orleans and Philly have in common:
1. Joan of Arc statue as seen half-way below.
2. Love Sculpture by Robert Indiana. (Didn't get a chance to visit the sculpture due to the rain)
Jackson Square, also known as Place d'Armes, is a historic park in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. The design was modeled on the famous Place des Vosges in Paris, France.
Place de Armes
Statue of Andrew Jackson in front the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France. It is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States.
It's interesting the Cafe Du Monde is the brand of coffee that is used in Vietnamese Iced Coffee. This is the influence that the French had on Vietname when it was a colony of the French Empire.
Vietnamese Waiter
These beignets were wonderful, a must have when in New Orleans.
The French archictectural influence is apparent in the French Quarter.
These masks were sold everywhere in NO, I'm not sure what their significance is.
French carriage in the French Quarter
This Joan of Arc stands outside of the French Market, we have the same one standing on the side of the Art Museum.
These Lucky Dogs carts were all over NO, I regret not have a chance to savor one.
What's NO with the street jazz players?
Typical street in the French Quarter.
For 5 dollars, you can ride any of these street carts all day.
River Walk.
Beaufitul wrought iron balconies and french shutter doors.
For my five day stay in NO, it rained the entire time! I have about an hours worth of time photographing the city. This was the one minimalistic of the rain I took in the hotel.
Enjoy the journey...ADP
