New Orleans...

 

From the ridiculous,

to the sublime.

Goin' to the Big Easy

 
It's my first time, and I'll be up to my eyeballs in a conference, but will have one day of leisure (I hope). Planning to cruise around the garden district, as I hear it's lovely--my friends recommended it to me knowing I'm not the drunken melee type. =)

Cannot WAIT to see those historic, gorgeous gardens/houses, and of course will share them with you upon my return. It's not for months, but I just made the reservations, so I'm excited and had to tell SOMEbody. =) (Yes, that'd be you)

Any of you know what bird or plant species I should keep my eyes peeled for while there? Or places near Canal Street with marvelous food? Is it worth a trip to the water? (like I could resist, anyhow) Hm, are there any nature/water cool places I could see native wildlife/veg in lieu of garden tour? Anyone? Anyone?*

DO tell. =)

Thanks!
