Louisiana Plantation Day...............

Just a quick note about today.   We took our Internet map and drove to a few Plantations about 30 miles outside of New Orleans. 

 

We stopped at 2 Plantations and took their tours.  Taking a tour was cool because we learned about the Louisiana Plantation Laws back then, which were much different than other states.  But taking two tours was almost to much, since we heard almost the same information as the first, just a different family.  But on the other hand, we would have missed the Plantation we liked the best.

It was named Oak Alley Plantation.

Huge Oak Trees

 

No, the trees, or branches are not broken.

 

And the grounds around the home were beautiful..!!

 

After a day of driving around, becoming self made tour guides, we decided to stop by Bourbon Street to see if the tourist have arrived, and to have a drink.  The streets were definitely more crowded, the nightclubs were busy and there were noticeably more police officers, like hundreds of them, everywhere.  We figured that the safest place to be was Bourbon Street.

 

 

 

At one street intersection, on one corner there were some  very "COOL" looking bikes parked, then turn around, and at the other corner there were more bikes, not quite as "COOL". All Police bikes, and every head you see in the lower picture are officers.

 

We will be returning again tomorrow to see how much it changes on a Friday.

 

Until Next Time,
