My birthday is next weekend and wanted to celebrate with some friends by getting out of town. I chose to go to New Orleans because it really is not like any city I've ever been to. When you are here, you are in a different world and I wanted my friends to see that. Two of them were able to make it and today was our first day here. It was a travel day, and by the time we got to our B&B at 5, we were ready to get down on the food and walk around to check out all the sites. It was really fun showing my friends what I could remember and wandering around. Can't wait to go back through the streets again in the morning when they can see in more detail how beautiful the architecture of the buildings are.

Here are some photos from today. They are shot with a Fujix100s, my favorite digital camera.
