Beignets and fresh squeezed OJ at Cafe Dumonde on Decatur Street. Caution...you WILL leave with powdered sugar on you!
The carriages were all lined up in front of Jackson Square. We did not go on one yet...
I loved the artists and their work displayed on the wrought iron fence. So relaxing to stroll along in the shade.
Tarot Card Readers and psychics were sprinkled among the artists.
Can you find Capt. Jack Sparrow among the black and whites?
I am amazed at all the alcohol and bars...I had been warned, but my imagination did not prepare me. I would have loved an icee...unfortunately they were all filled with rum or vodka.
The statue guys are fabulous...they can really take you by surprise. I don't know how they hold so still for so long.
We ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe...I had Twisted Macaroni With Chicken. It was yummy!
We walked along the Mississippi and caught sight of the steamboat, Natchez. It's rainbow flags were flying high...
This funky car was SO cool. There was so much to see on it.
The French Market had lots of neat foods and...
mardi gras beads and masks galore!
We caught a streetcar and headed back to the hotel for dinner and some relaxation in our room. Dr. Hubby starts his convention tomorrow. Oh yeah...I also found out where the Fall 2010 convention is going to be...SAN FRANCISCO!

Bourbon Street smelled like a combo of alcohol and vomit. It was yucky. Manga Dork glimpsed some odd behavior in a gay bar...yikes. I don't care if I ever walk that street again.

Looks like a fun time! And I don't think I've ever had a beignet.
Yummy smelling streets- not - and all the powdered sugar??? Hopefully the sugar rush last throughout the day :)
Love the music
I of course meant Art Work- I never type another word when I am thinking about something else. Ever ;) Have fun!
Um, yeah, don't think I need to visit Bourbon street either.
Everything else looks amazing. Yay for husbands that go on conventions!
Looks like such a fabulous time! I have never been to New Orleans, but it's definitely on my bucket list ... one of these days. :)
I looks like the weather is nice and sunny - Yeah! You've seen lots of places already. However, I don't think I would like to visit Bourbon street either - yuck.
There is just a little powdered sugar on your beignets. I can see how you could never leave without having powdered sugar on you. WOW!

Those mounds of powdered sugar look delightful.
Did you get your cards read or fortune told?
So awesome! Looks like you had a blast. New Orleans is definitely on my list of places to visit before I die. I'd love to sample all the delicious local cuisine. And yes, I've heard that will all the alcohol there you can practically get drunk just by seeing it all. He he! Glad you're having fun!
Dang that looked like fun! Great photos.
And yes, I did see Mr. Depp in amongst the paintings - although I had to left-click on it to enlarge it to do so! {Was that cheating?}
