Pictures from New Orleans (yes, finally)

Finally I took the time to post some pictures from our stay in New Orleans and the way to Atlanta... Above a picture of the superdome where the victimes of Katrina were gathered.

View over the Missisipi from the top floor of our Hotel, Hilton Riverside New Orleans.


We arrived on my birthday and Alain surprised me with a bottle of champagne.


Later that evening we went on the swamp tour to check out the locals... the alligators.


Pictures of the swamp...


Above the remainder of a house that was hit by Katrina.


At dinner for my birthday... and blowing out the candle.

Hereunder the French quarter...

Of course... some statues of music players in the city of jazz

We went shopping in the French Market...
We took a cable trolley to go to the Garden district. In the garden district you can see beautiful houses and gardens of course.

Leaving New Orleans, we drove through

and
to get to Atlanta, where our plane took us back to Belgium on July 12.
On our way over there, we saw the swamps in between the lanes of the highway.
Axelle even spotted an alligator in them.


And this is the end of a beautiful roadtrip.
Pictures of Belgium, the house and my new car will follow later.
