We located a nice place to have breakfast, we were able to sit outside on the sidewalk. The windows of the restraunt were tented with a reddish color. They were reflective and pretty. The breakfast was good. Eggs, grits and biscuit.
The tugboats were plying the river. I don't think one could ever tire of just standing on the edge of this mighty river and watch the activity. We rode the trolly to the river walk yesterday and had baked zitty for dinner. Very good.
Am looking forward to riding the Natchez this morning. Should be fun. The boat has a calliope on top. Fun to listen to.
We have a great many photos of the very different and unique signage here in the French Quarter. It will be fun putting these photos together.
When we came back from the river, we had to wait for a very long freight train and guess what, at the end was a caboose.
Bicycles are a major means of transportation. They are chained to posts all over the French Quarter. The land is so flat, riding bikes should be fun.
We had breakfast across from one of the Central Firestations this morning. They seem to have a Homeland Security division.
Yesterday, we toured a museum that featured the history of the Mardi Gras and the Zulu kings. Louis Armstrong was the Zulu king in 1949. This person seems to be the parade Marshall.
Darcy got to pet a very nice policeman's horse out on Bourbon Street the other night. The policeman was nice too.
A caboose! A calliope! How wonderful your description. Wish I was there right now on my own bike!
