I was recently in New Orleans and the following photos trace some of my journey. I really enjoyed New Orleans and would recommend a visit for anyone who hasn't been. The city has an incredible history, amazing cuisine and music, and is quite unique. Full Disclosure - I went about ten days after the spill started and I wouldn't let that stop you from visiting - it's still a wonderful place as you will see. New Orleans has taken some heavy blows recently but is still standing proud. Part I includes photos from the French Quarter, Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, Jackson Square, the Riverfront, and Canal Street. Part II will show primarily the Garden District and more of the French Quarter. I hope you likey.
