New Orleans LA here I came

[Mira]

Went by train for 20 hours - slowly with these wonderful neighbors - I have a bonanza of photos of them, will post more of them another time


Next morning at our hotel was the annual "Running of the Bulls" - Girls on roller skates with harmless but forcefully swung batakas, and Elvises on motorcycles and "exhausted girl" doing a handstand while refreshed with some wine






Stairs, always proof that it's me



Further proof, yours truly in street car reflected in a store window

That's nuts even for New Orleans. ;)

Have a great trip and can't wait to see more.

5. Looks like you

are having fun. New Orleans is one of my favorite places in the world and I would move there in a heartbeat. Can't wait to see all your photos. Of this set I love the first photo best. What a moment to capture. I hope you have a way to share this with them.

6. Oh gosh, I never knew about the

"running of the bulls New Orleans style" until the other day on the news, and now here you post a photo.

Doesn't seem like the Elvis's mind you photographing them . . . and one is even taken one of you! ;-)

The stairs is a fabulous shot, I really like that brilliant blue, but I too am partial to your first shot.

Can't wait for "round two."

I would love to visit New Orleans some day! *sigh*
