Oliver and I have been in New Orleans for the last few days so I could attend a library conference. I know this is bad, but.......I really wanted to visit New Orleans due to my former Anne Rice passion, and not so much for the conference. So here is my review of NOLA. Interesting. Would be better if you have a big budget and can afford to go on lots of tours and eat at the restaurants in the French Quarter. I would avoid Bourbon Street at all costs (a hive of scum and villainy (well, maybe vulgarity, stench, crudeness) if I ever saw one). The streetcars were fun to ride, and not expensive. There are lots of beautiful town homes. Our favorite part of the whole trip was leaving New Orleans on the Great River Road and visiting a couple of plantations. Sooo interesting! We didn't take many pictures until plantation day.
