So, of all the new homes in the 9th ward, these are my three choices.
They are modern, but not too extreme like some of the others.
They fit better into the neighbourhood. It's to bad that some of those cute little ornate shotgun houses could not have been restored or duplicated.
Now for the "King Cake". The traditional colours for Mardi Gras are Purple, Green and Gold. They produce beads, masks, all sorts of decorations in these colours and the traditional desert at Mardi Gras is the King Cake. This is like a big gooey twisted cinnamon bun with jam that is covered with bright purple green and gold icing. It is very sweet, but you have to have one when you come to New Orleans.
So that's my report from New Orleans, for tonight. I have just spent the evening researching which plantations I want to see tomorrow.
