New Orleans is a treat for the eyes, with fascinating architecture and lots of color.
The mix of ages we see in buildings seems to me wider than in most American cities. As we wander, the character is everywhere.
Some of the buildings host plant life.
Everywhere people are enjoying themselves and each other in the easy style we see everywhere.
We walked through colorful streets to Armstrong Park with its big white arch.
There was a great festival there, though in many ways the entire city is one giant festival everywhere with interesting and diverse music to caress your ears.
Walking back we wondered about the dates 1849 and 1899 on this mysterious building.
It’s next door to this restored Jesuit church with its distinctive towers.
Nearby is this costume rental store providing another example of the playful contrasts here.
Though we’re just beginning to get acquainted with New Orleans, tomorrow we’ll probably head for the Jacksonville area to visit relatives and start plotting our venture out into the Caribbean.
