Down by the Mississippi.

Follow us to the riverfront ...


A misty, foggy walk along the riverfront of the Mississippi ... with some dark clouds possibly threatening rain.
It was a warm and humid day!

We wondered if these were party revellers leftover from Mardi Gras ...


We had a great view of Jackson Square and it's happenings ...



After our river front stroll, we headed to the French Market ...


             

Here we met Laury's dear artist friend Oscar. 
That would be "Oscar of New Orleans"... his card states he "captures the magic of New Orleans".
He designs and makes unique pieces of jewelry. You can read Oscar's story on his website ...

And that is exactly what I chose as my souvenir ... a pair of fun, funky, colourful earrings!

              

                      


Back through Jackson Square and off to a special place for lunch ...
