Photos from New Orleans

Early Sunday evening on Bourbon Street. This was my sorry attempt to be a pole dancer.  Sadly, no one put any dollar bills in my thong!  

This is our New Orleans limousine.  Been using it to get around town, every tour guide has his/her own way of telling the New Orleans story.  That's Stu upstairs above the "t".  The bottom right is a painted coffin.  You may be aware that cities over the US chose a theme and then had artists paint the same thing in a new way.  A town in Oregon, for example, had painted bears.  LA had 6 foot angels.  Well New Orleans has coffins!

This is a miniature mock up of the city of New Orleans.  The area  of the French Quarter is really quite small, an easy walk around.  

Street entertainment along riverwalk in the French Quarter.  There were about 500 persons watching the hour plus performance, lots of interaction with the crowd.  The performers brazenly said that if you didn't give $20, it was almost an insult.  And, they collected plenty of $20 and more.  Stu and I think that they picked up close to $800 based on their announcements and people passing $20 bills.  We're thinking of getting an act together, what do you think?
