ALSO Alabama - Memphis to New Orleans


Saturday
We had an early morning on the bus
We are all excited, everyone of us
We left the Mississippi rain
For the Louisiana terrain
On the way we saw alligators swim so fast
The French Quarter was a blast
From buskers, to dancers, to street artists, to jazz
Anything you want New Orleans has
Alligator, shrimp, oysters, and crawfish
These delicacies were dee-lish dee-lish
Tomorrow off to church we roll
We are gonna sing with soul
Now our day has come to an end
To you all our love we send
The end

Typical Louisiana countryside from the bus window

Fishing on Lake Pontchartrain.  We crossed the lake by driving over a 38 mile bridge.

Above ground cemetery. Water table is so high that burials are above ground.
Typical architecture in the French Quarter

Shopping at the street vendors in the French Quarter


One of the many street performers.

Listening to the buskers on the streets in New Orleans
