Somewhere in the French Quarter.
This sign displays the 18th century street name but more importantly our walking tour guide pointed out the rounded bricks. Not original, supposedly the rounding occurred after centuries of drunks scraping the corner of the pub.
Café du Monde. Probably the most famous café in New Orleans.
Café du Monde is well known for café au lait and sugar laden square donuts called beignets.
A statue of Joan of Arc outside the French Market.
I have no idea what this is. Impressive, scary, weird and certainly intimidating.
