Let's start with some of the things we saw walking over to catch the bus to Li'l Dizzy's--one more time.
 |
| I know it's his name, but I think "Minor Wisdom" is a funny name for a courthouse. |
 |
| Ben Franklin stands in Lafayette Square. With beads. That's Lafayette's butt behind him. John McDonogh (see yesterday) is beyond, out of the shot. |
 |
| The Swoop-Duggins House--once a brothel--may be the single oldest "house" remaining in downtown New Orleans. Built before 1850, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. |
Longue Vue House and Garden
This was the day's primary tourist visitation--except for the other one later.

The Evening
We met the McClains (see today's post) and walked down Bourbon Street. After visiting Preservation Hall (no shooting inside; see the exterior in yesterday's Gallery) we looked around the neighborhood a bit.

And that was it--until our Big Day tomorrow!
