These photos will leave little doubt where I spent the past few days. In town for a family wedding, I was surprised to find the French Quarter little changed after Katrina.
Of course, no visit to New Orleans would be complete without breakfast at Cafe Du Monde. Waiters, bearing trays of steaming chicory coffee and beignets covered in clouds of powdered sugar, make their way through the crowd. Ahh, heaven.

The landmark St. Louis Cathedral,with its triple steeple, overlooks Jackson Square. It is the oldest cathedral in North America. Definitely worth a visit to see the painted murals on the barrel vaulted ceilings, and the beautiful stained glass windows.
Jackson Square is filled with artists, con artists, musicians and tourists taking in the sights. Below is a Tarot card reader set up with his cards and crystals.
Where else but New Orleans would you find such dodgy characters set up in front of a church?
This town is all about fun, food and jazz. It' a non-stop party, y'all. Or as they say in New Orleans, "Laissez les bon temps roulez."
