New Orleans

We decided to pack up and head to the deep south for a long weekend in early summer. It was a great place to visit, although it took me a little bit of time to relax into the more laid back southern attitudes! I have been in New York for a while and expect everything to be done quickly and efficiently.

Efficiency is just not an option in New Orleans - but a laid back relaxed attitude and very friendly people even made me wind down a bit. By the end of the trip, I was a lot more relaxed than at the start! 

The main square in the center of New Orleans.

The above ground graves (since, with the regular flooding - underground burials are just not an option!).

Catching the trolley cars (old trams) around town was lots of fun.

Celebrating brunch in New Orleans style - one of the best brunches that I have ever had! (Thank you to Emma and Ryan for the recommendation).
