New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA – 2015. I spent a few days on New Orleans, staying in a hotel on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. I toured around a bit but was not there long enough to see much of the city. There was still evidence of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, particularly in the poorer parts of the city. The people I meet were friendly, the food great and lots of jazz.
