living a life: NOLA style

“Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.”

 ― Mary Oliver

this month for my link up with photog friends-- i'm using my photos i took from a recent trip to new orleans...

surprisingly, i actually did not take that many....i took a fair amount on my iphone but was too busy taking it all in to continuously snap away....

finally getting around to posting the pics....

it was a wonderful trip with great friends.....

we had a blast....

we tried pretty much every mode of transportation--carriage ride, pedi cab, streetcar, Uber ride.....

tried LOTS of delicious food, listened to some awesome jazz music....

plenty of sightseeing, people watching, and relaxing by the pool.....

New Orleans is one vibrant city...

i was so intrigued by the people --the love and pride they have for their city...

and also intrigued by the cemetery as you will soon see....

it is a city rich in culture, history, and character....

a fascinating place...

hope to go back again soon so we can continue to explore....

and eat more beignets and bread pudding soufflé with warm whiskey cream sauce.... :)
