New Orleans Trip~ Part 2

No trip to New Orleans is complete (or even begins) without a trip to Jackson Square. Again, the beautiful day and the bright blue sky made for the perfect day walking around the square. We parked behind Cafe du Monde, walked up the steps where the entire square can be viewed from up high.

Now, when you arrive in this spot, keep in mind, this is the place where the man will try to bet you $20 he can tell you where you got them shoes. Don't take his bet. The answer is correct, and you'll end up owing him $20! The answer~ You got them shoes on your feet! (Now all the readers have been forewarned, so don't fall for that!!)

For the price of your great-grandmother's wedding ring you can take a ride/tour in a carriage pulled by the many horses lining Decatur Street. (Ok, it probably doesn't cost THAT much.)

Do you wonder what the horses think about all the traffic, street vendors/performers, or real tourists that go walking by day by day!? I think the horse below wonders why someone put such a goofy looking hat on her, but she does appreciate the shade umbrella.

Andrew Jackson, thus the name~ Jackson Square. I could tell you about why his statue is here and what role he had in the history of Louisiana, but I'll let you find that for yourself (I do know). Also, it might be interesting to do a little research of the statues made with military men on horses. Did you know that the horses standing on one, two, or three legs means something different in a military statue!? Interesting.

And a random picture of some adorable (half grown) children that happen to be standing near this statue for me to take a picture of!
