I went to NoLa in 2018 and had a GREAT TIME. I loved it. We went on a Riverboat Cruise to the Chalmette Battlefield, where the last battle of the War of 1812 was fought. So much fun! Then, we went to the Aquarium. During our time and maybe not in order, we went to the Butterfly Museum, stopped in Harrads to use the bathroom, listened to street music, dropped into a bar where Tuba Skinny was playing (maybe on Royal Street), ate at Court of Two Sisters, went to the Presbyterian Church on Sunday down in the Garden District near some university (!), ate Sunday dinner at La Maison nearby (that was a Mexican food restaurant, real Mexican NOT TexMex.) and went up the River Road to tour Oak Allee. Big Sigh. All touristy and wonderful! I’d go back in a heartbeat.
After NoLa we went over to Gulfport and Biloxi.
When you get to gulf, be prepared to hear stories of Katrina. Also, imo, Biloxi and Gulfport had it far, far worse than NoLa. NoLa suffered from the democrat government over time diverting funds for the upkeep of the levees. That is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL for NoLa. Biloxi and Gulfport bore the brunt of the hurricane. Ask a resident there why they keep hatchets and axes in their attics now.
IIRC, that Presbyterian Church (PCA, of course) was located on a street with a median down the middle. Traffic was divided into TWO LANES.
Thank you, my daughter said there were some museums she’d like to go to.
Don’t know why, but I like old cemeteries, I’ve seen a few there on TV 8g like to see. I love Cajun food and music.
Thanks, I went to Gulf Shores, AL I think in 2014 and we had a blast. Although if you ask me my preference in beaches, and I have been to east coast, I prefer the west coast. Cold and treacherous.
