A House In New Orleans Contest
"A House In New Orleans" Contest
Sponsor: Lin Lane
Walking down Bourbon Street I stopped at the 1850 house to see it for myself. The French Quarter is rich with historic homes...homes with fully furnished decorations and you can smell the history of New Orleans the second you walk through the front door. It's considered a jewel of this city and depicts family life during such prosperous period in the city's history. There are many homes and they are visions of such beauty with a good story to go with each one. Oh my, how the trellises reaching towards the sky are filled with such marvelous vines and tall rose bushes. Purple and pink wild flowers that are a sight for sore eyes. So close to your neighbors and sitting on balconies cheering to good food with close family and friends...
French Quarter beauty
Bourbon Street fine history
traveling flowers
You should see it at night..the street's and alley's are crawling with tourists singing and dancing to exquisite soul jazz singers, filling up every square inch of the French Quarter. A divine restaurant with fine food and many drinks. During the night you can't miss the parties and good times shared between people from all over the world. Everyone laughing, singing and dancing all night long. A once and a lifetime visit and the most remarkable citizens living free of life's responsibilities...I finally put the beads around my neck as I enjoyed the Chinese Dragon Parade...
