Ups and downs in New Orleans
... of bars, restaurants and adult entertainment. The street was great for people watching! There was lots of street entertainers,jazz musicians and the stripper girls were all out trying to get customers (including a couple who wore only glitter on their top halves - and not much of it.) New Orleans has the last paddle steamboat on the Mississippi so we took a ride on that. It was lovely and relaxing but not very scenic, mostly industrial with ...
