New Orleans

Next stop is New Orleans. Found this old classic at the start of the Mississippi river. I welled up after they played the English national anthem on the pipes. Must have been feeling home sick that day!! The Americans all stood up and put their hand on their hearts when theirs played...!

                                                

New Orleans is full of street entertainers, and this chap is just one of the many we got to see! 

An example of the AMAZING buildings they have there, we wanted to live in every single one we saw.

The days we were there, there was some sort of celebration that brought sailors from all over the world into the Port, so they were all walking round, taking in the sites like we were, although we did see a couple being sick in the streets, enjoying their leave a bit too much!

This is taken in the amazing guest house we stayed in, just made us love New Orleans even more. We stayed in one night and got chatting to some of the other guests (hi if you're reading!!) and had a great time comparing cultures.

Laura got dragged up by a brass band that were performing on the street, and someone took this picture of her and emailed it to her which was really nice of him. I was too busy laughing to take any good pictures.
