Some Random Pics Of New Orleans

Just some random pics from the New Orleans trip.

There used to be a statue upon this pedestal.

That statue is gone now.

At least they haven't gotten around to removing Ben Franklin's statue - yet.

In the 1850s, when you can't decide whether to carry a knife or a pistol you can do both.

A $50 Texas banknote with Sam Houston's signature (apparently it wasn't actually signed by Houston but by William G. Cooke).

If you had to ask the price on any of these items, you probably couldn't afford them. The mark-up on the antique firearms and coins were quite high above typical market value, likely to snag visiting tourists with cash and not a lot of market knowledge.

A ship making a 90 degree turn on the river.

A tug and barge meandering down the river.

An abandoned wharf awaiting redevelopment.

'Twas a darn good trip with a fine host.
