There are a few ways to travel around New Orleans... two of the ways that we found and enjoyed were both bathed in history...
The refurbished street car that takes you into the "american" side of Canal street...

It is a lovely old thing that they brought back to life. And locals and tourists alike can enjoy the ride into the garden district.
Daniel the conductor........there are two conductor stations. One at the front and one at the back of the streetcar. So, the conductor travels up town one way and switch to the other end when travelling down......fun
Passing the other car....VROOOOOM
The interior is beautiful and they have restored seats that have a back that is on a hinge so that if you are travelling up then you flip it one way and when you are travelling down you just reverse it....cool. The other way we found was on a reconditioned steamship. (I thought of my freinds Keith and Ron Young, who maintain the old steam saw mill on Vancouver Island)

It is very hard to see but on the top middle part of the picture, there is a lady there who is playing the steam organ....the sounds of which can be heard from blocks away....cool to see and hear.
We were "rollin" on the river. The Mississippi River. How many people can say that they have been on a steamship on the Mississippi...I am a very lucky gal.
The "other" end of the steam ship...

And the end of this part....see you soon.
