Hi guys,
Yup it is new orleans this time, It was love at first sight for me.I still avidly remember the first time my ship cruised into the bay at New Orleans through th missisipi river.The cruise on the river missisippi was itself an experience worth having.it is a 12 hr cruise from the mouth of the carribean bay till new orleans, and all the way the ship maintains a 45degree slant. I happened to reach new orleans jus in time for the mardi gras festival of the year 1999.It was one of the most spectacular and colorful events I have ever witnessed.
But that jus 20% of my experience in new orleans. I used to love walking through the old streets and reach the french square. I used to love strolling through the not so busy avenues and by-lanes all by myself. The old spanish and french influence on the architecture of the place added a unique charm to it I should say.
Compared to Tampa bay and Miami the two other american cities I have visited NEW ORLEANS stands out as the best.
luv
barus
