Search the forum (I used New Orleans as my key words) for the “Lu and her New Orleans history” thread from a year and a half ago. On page 4, TNT posted Lu’s notes about suggestions she had plus some personal memories of her time in NOLA. Great suggestions on her list. I’m currently on an iPad and don’t know how to copy and paste. 😳
We went to the garden district yesterday via cable car. We were given a walking tour guide to the mansions from someone working the door at Commander’s Palace, an upscale restaurant. The night before we did the standard tourist thing and went on a guided ghost tour, capping off the night with a few hurricanes.
As far as the festival, blankets and chairs are items allowed inside the grounds. Stay away from the rentals inside the grounds. $68 for a chair!
Looking forward to your report(s)!
