We took the ferry across the Mississippi to the city. Walked to the French Quarter again.
Woke up to an egret in the yard this am. Santa just does not look right with palm trees!
Pharmacy museum, tools of the trade
more tools of the trade, in the French quarter the pharmacy's sold voodoo products. They numbered them because the use of voodoo was socially unacceptable, and people could just order the number. That is where love potion number 9 came from.
The inside of the St Louis Cathedral, the Ursuline Convent-the oldest building in the Mississippi valley
the chapel at the convent, John with the nuns at the convent
a court yard garden in the French Quarter, John in front of the oldest bar Jean Lafitte's. Jean was a pirate who dealt in smuggling and slave trade by sneaking into the maze of bayous and swamps in the area. The bar was a front for his ‘business’. He supplied the us troops against the British and that made him a hero. -after the oldest convent he felt the oldest bar was in order. . .
John in Jean Lafitte's and Suep out front
voo doo daiquiri-only in the French Quarter, Suep caught by a crawfish
