Travel Day 5 - New Orleans

Today we traveled to New Orleans. The weather was much better. As we traveled farther south it was warmer and warmer. The scenery was not particularly interesting as can be seen from the image below.

However, when we reached the New Orleans area it was much more interesting. We arrived early enough to do a little site-seeing though not a lot. We were lucky to be able to stay in one of our Worldmark units right in the center of New Orleans. 

We took the street car down to the French Quarter and looked around a bit. It was interesting, particularly the architecture but kind of "touristy." 

We did stop for awhile and talk with a woman who wove rag rugs. Her rugs were remarkable; some small, some large, and all designed with good color sense. Some of her looms were very large. One was 10 feet long.

Here is a view from the river walk.
