New Orleans streetcars and guitars

rode from the riverwalk to the french market and cafe du monde, $1.25 per person or $3 for an all day pass.

we also took the saint charles streetcar through the garden district. streetcar riding was the best part of the trip for #2 son.

the hard life of a street musician on a cold new orleans day. he was revived with french onion soup from Cafe Maspero stood in line for around 30 minutes to get in for their "traditional New Orleans sandwiches" (Muffaletta). food was a bit salty, but it was cheap and it was warm inside. the food revived the kids as they had crashed from all that sugar for breakfast. The place was also once used as a slave exchange.
