Walking Tour of French Quarter

Quick coffee before starting walking tour at 10am.  Guide was excellent.   Tour went for 2 hours;  she explained about the Mississippi River and the history of New Orleans as well as hurricane Katrina.   The French Quarter is only 6 blocks by 13 blocks.  She explained the architecture of the French,  Spanish,  and the sugar and cotton barons.  Lunch at Antoine's,  oysters, crab meat, pecan pie and a couple of cocktails each.  Back to hotel for nanny nap.
