Day 2

Great tour today around Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, Louis Armstrong Park through the Warehouse/Arts District out to the levee bank that collapsed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and through many suburbs showing the devastation of the floods.  Out again now, more news tomorrow 



Statues of Louis Armstrong in many New Orleans bars and hotels.


Street entertainment is popular here.


Some old houses in the French quarter.



The new levee bank near the collapse.



Apparently the longest over water bridge in the world ???







Some properties are being rebuilt with most rooms above the flood level.



Chargrilled oysters in the seafood restaurant at Riverside.
