Pictures from our trip to New Orleans

St. Louis Cathedral.
This is the oldest cathedral in North America, founded in 1720.

The inside of this cathedral is beautifully decorated.

Bourbon Street, the French Quarter is alive at night with street dancers and night clubs.

Two blocks from Bourbon Street with its notorious night life is this beautiful statue of the risen Christ and it's shadow, with hands spread wide apart, inviting night crawlers to come to him and find rest.
CAFE DA MONDE!
This was perhaps the highlight of our trip. The beignet and coffee in this cafe was worth our trip to New Orleans. We literally went there everyday and we even brought some back to California.

Uche is a happy boy. He couldn't get over how good their beignets and coffee were.





You really don't need to rent a car to move around New Orleans. With a three day bus pass you can ride both buses and cable cars, and it's affordable.
