It’s chill out day . Quiet breakfast and a walk to the Canal street tram via impressive Saenger theatre and a tram ride to the river and then a walk down the riverfront past paddle steamers ,Katrina statue and huge convention centre to the Mardi Gras museum .
The museum is huge and full of old and new carnival floats and models/statues! Not quite as weird as Fastnacht and less political statements ! Fun though!
A tram takes us back to Jackson square and some libations! We are lucky as there is a big downpour !
Then it’s a leisurely walk around to visit sites of note - Ursuline convent , Lalaurie mansion, Gallier house and Lafittes blacksmith shop ( the oldest bar) .
The evening is a relaxing walk to the Napoleon house for dinner and we’re off home tomorrow nightRead more
