We saw so many cool things and people in Nawlin's....I have to share. A parade that appeared on Burbon street while we were enjoying some music at a blues club
Big Al Carson.....man could that man sing the blues...VERY GOOD
A "shotgun" house. Some say it is because you can open the front door and shoot a gun right through to the back door without hitting any walls. They are long and narrow. I also heard that the name comes from the African Americans that ended up here as slaves and they called them Shogun homes. I am not sure what the name meant to them but it is interesting to hear the two different versions. This home was in need of some serious repair but I thought that it bore some good history...
Some masks that you can find most places in the French Quarter.....
Free music is abundant in the streets of the French Quarter...this is the square. Someone said that the buildings in the background were the first ever "apartment" buildings in North America. Interesting...but it is so great to grab a cup of Cafe o Lait and some Beignets (french doughnuts completely drowned in icing sugar) from Cafe Dumond and listen to some free tunes....
A family celebrating the 40th birthday of their daughter...don't they look like they are having fun...
"Rooster" is a fellow who we loved. He sang blues in the Blues club on Bourbon street. We got to see him a couple of times. He really played the crowd and got everyone involved in the fun....
