Last July, I was in New Orleans for two days and one night. I visited the famous Bourbon street and also French Market. It's an interesting unique city with many historic and multicultural heritage (French and Spanish influences mostly, and also from Africa).
I spent a lot of my time in the French Quarter for window shopping.
It's not New Orleans if there's no parades on the streets ;)

Ha, I was just in New Orleans, too! It was so humid, ugh! (But again, maybe not so bad for you?) Did you try any coffee with chicory? That's famous, apparently!
ReplyDeleteCool!!! Yes, it was really hot and also humid there. Need to put a lot of sunscreen! In Jakarta, whenever, it's hot, I always walk under an umbrella to avoid the sun. In New Orleans, I couldn't do it because it definitely would make me look like a weird person, hahahaha.
DeleteAh... the coffee and chicory, the famous one from Cafe du Monde. Too bad, I didn't get a try of it.
