A few months ago I was accepted to present at a national conference for a group that Anna belongs to. This is the third national conference I have presented at in the last three years. Unfortunately, Anna was not able to attend, so I went to New Orleans myself this past weekend. Since I did not attend many sessions, I had the opportunity to explore and take pictures.
Easter is late this year, so Mardi Gras is still a ways away, but Who Dat nation is already starting to decorate for the upcoming festivities.
One of Anna's friends from UMD, Katie, and her brother Miker were in town to run the marathon that weekend. The three of us did some exploring together. I also found them along the race route at mile 15 and unofficially ran in the marathon with them for a mile.
A shrimp po' boy sandwich.
The oldest cemetery. Had a chance to see some famous graves.
Jackson Square, an iconic view.
Explored Bourbon Street at 10am and 10pm on the same day. Each gave a different look and feel to the French Quarter. ;)
The bride and groom leading a parade after getting married in the French Quarter. Lassez les bons temps rouler!

Some of these pictures bring back memories of living in LA for 16 months. I loved shrimp po' boys! I ate a pound of large fresh shrimp all by myself the night before we moved.
Enjoyed your pictures again ~ Thanks for sharing... :)
