New Orleans always finds a way to charm me.
Whether it’s with the food…
Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad and french fries at Royal Street Deli.
…the drinks…


…or the colorful characters…
…it all seems more enchanting because of its extraordinary backdrop. The Spanish, French, and Creole influence on the architecture makes it one of the most captivating cities in the US.





There’s still one other ingredient to add to the pot.
The music.
Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten about it. That’s up next.

Hi,
Great photos, and it does look like a fabulous place, I love the buildings, the way the whole place just seems to come together.
Thanks! If you ever come to this part of the world, it’s worth a visit. It’s beautiful and gritty and full of personality.
Fun pictures! Love the ones of the “colorful characters.”
Thanks! The people watching down there is some of the best entertainment you could find anywhere.
Great and Lovely Pictures!! It shows that you have really colorful LIFE!
Thanks! I take that as a huge compliment
Most Welcome Always!
Can’t wait to visit NO for the first time. I have a buddy who lives there(aka my tour guide), and he’s talking about moving. I can’t let that happen.
Eric, you have to go. It’s great to have a “tour guide” to show you all the good spots. Hurry! But if you miss your window, it’s a really easy place to go on your own.
Your pictures bring to life the city so well that I feel as though I am there. Awesome job.
Thank you! Hope you had as much fun as I did
I love reading your blog and i think your take on NOLA captures the essence of that magical place! Feed that wanderlust because it’s producing quite an inspiring story!
Thanks, Tony! That is very kind. I aim to inspire. Now hurry up and get down there for a visit.
