New Orleans!

 New Orleans West KOA.  About 20-30 minutes from New Orleans.   Lots of contractor trucks here.  They are still trying to recover from Hurricane Ida.  Blue tarps are everywhere on roofs.   Lots of homeless around.  Tents set up around the city.  Many homeless in the French Quarter along the streets and in the parks.

Looking at the up side.  The city is interesting and busy!  Music everywhere!

The city is really rich with history, beautiful buildings and fabulous  culture.  We took a hop on and hop off bus tour.  The only way to see the city! :). We got a two day pass so we were able to see where we wanted to go on day 2.  A couple of days of just driving south to see the Mississippi Delta, we went back to the city.


This time we bought an all day streetcar pass for $3.00 apiece and saw some beautiful houses, mansions and small shops.  We got on and off, walked around, shopped and got tired! :)
