I have been to New Orleans three times now - I guess you could say I kind of like it!! New Orleans was founded in 1718 by French Canadian naval officer Jean Baptiste Bienville on a grid of 70 squares, Today this is prime tourist turf called the French Quarter. In this post I will be highlighting the French Quarter as that is where most tourists hang out . When I left New Orleans I thought "okay three times should be enough" Guess what...it isn't!!! Someday Nawlins I will be back but after three trips in January I think I will choose to go at a different time of year. (not summer though!) So here are some of the photo highlights of this very busy part of the Big Easy. St Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square - the original church was built in 1727. With statue of Andrew Jackson in front At the weekend the square is filled with artists selling their wares as well as all kinds of fortune tellers Let's visit the French Market! Hmm
