River Walk
Paddle boat leaves for the River tour
|
the French Quarter & downtown New Orleans
Mike & I had walked the French Quarter when we came here to board for our cruise to the Caribbean, so we just walked the river walk this time We could not see any damage from Katrina but Sam (another RV'er) said if we had taken I-10 instead of the 23 mile cross over Lake Pontchartrain, we would have seen the devastation. |
Transit around the town by trolley
Harrah's Casino downtown paid my dues once again, nice large casino but not worth the $28 for buffet for two. One of the TV Texas Holdem shows played here. |

First alligator we saw was Big Daddy and his wife cow lilies |

  The man who drove our boat loved to play with this baby alligator, not me too close for comfort |

 Downtown Abita Springs
boganvia's are found everywhere It seems everyone's yard has lush landscaping with all of the colors right now it is a wonderful site as you travel down the roads |
Wisteria hangs
from trees and the weeping willows are so large and lush, here, I did not know until recently that the weeping willow has been used as a medicine, who would have guessed that you could get aspirin from this tree. |
Abita Springs Brewery
