The letters of our thoughts are the ideas present in our mind before they come to realization . . . Thoughts that are, yet not felt . . . The words of the subconscious . . . of the soul . . .

These are the LETTERS OF MY THOUGHTS.

Mottel and the Big Easy - part III



Part 3 of 4 from my trip to New Orleans this past April (wow I've been schlepping this series out!)

Click on the link and enjoy the French Quarter by day and night . . .





The people of New Orleans were so expressive . . . they made for some great photos!






Notice the man looking out . . .















Looking for something interesting to check out - we decided to go to the Voodoo Museum.
I had been hoping we would find a museum delineating the history and culture of voodoo . . . instead we wound a self guided tour through three rooms of the small house. No museum, the place was really a private collection of voodoo artifacts and an active shrine in the back . . . with rather creepy music piped in over the speakers. Yikes!


the shrine!!


We decided to take a horse and buggy ride . . . most of the photos didn't come out - but we were able to get some of them . . .





The former home of Marie Laveau . . . creepy!


The Kennedys slept in this hotel when JFK was a child - Lee Harvey Oswald grew up down the block . . .


To end off the evening I got a series of tasters at the Crescent City Brewhouse . . . a bunch of German style beers - nothing was too amazing though.



Stay tuned for part IV!

Cafe deMonde was right around the corner. The coffee is great and the beignets are incredible.
