Crossing Canal Street

It’s another beautiful day in New Orleans! The weather is a bit warm for my taste but at least we’re not having to deal with rain or gloomy skies. It’s great weather for photography!
Pierre

This is Pierre, who I’m assuming is the mascot of the Chicken and Daiquiri restaurant he’s standing in front of. Since it’s early and the streets aren’t crowded, we couldn’t resist taking aOkumaya devam et
My Turn

After taking photos of Kathy, she wanted to get a shot of me standing with Pierre. This Chicken and Daiquiri place is just across the street from our hotel. I wonder if it’s a restaurant worth goingOkumaya devam et
Pierre

Pierre looks very colorful and festive but he doesn’t make me think of chicken. I do like the idea of restaurants setting up displays like this though. The big crazy looking mascots always get a lotOkumaya devam et

We decided to have a quick breakfast today and stopped by the McDonald’s that was across the street from our hotel. Of all the fast food places, I think that McDonald’s makes the best breakfasts.

Back to the Hotel

We had planned on eating our breakfast at the McDonald’s but didn’t want to stay there anymore with all the bums around. We decided to get our food as a takeaway order and bring it back to theOkumaya devam et

We’re back out on the street again, hungry, but not letting a bad start ruin our day. We pass this big mural all the time so I finally decided to get a shot of it. It’s odd looking but, somehow, IOkumaya devam et
Today’s Plans

Our plan for today was to go to the Mardi Gras museum. We visited this attraction on our first trip to New Orleans and really enjoyed it. It’s been a while, so we felt like it was time for anotherOkumaya devam et
On the Shuttle Bus

The Mardi Gras museum is a bit of a distance from downtown New Orleans but, fortunately, they offer a free shuttle service to take people to and from the museum. This makes it very easy and convenientOkumaya devam et
Welcome!

This jester figure standing at the front entrance is the same one that I remember from last time. I expected some things here to be the same but I’m hoping that we’ll be seeing a lot of differentOkumaya devam et
Kathy and the Gorilla

I had no need to be worried, however. As soon as we walked into the lobby we noticed many new figures, like this gorilla. The beads that Kathy is wearing are our tickets into the museum. Using MardiOkumaya devam et
