Easy Breezy Relaxing Sunny Day in Jackson Square New Orleans

Here’s a view of Jackson Square from atop the Riverwalk on the Mississippi River. That’s St. Louis Cathedral back there between the Cabildo and the Presbytere, the old government buildings built when Spain owned New Orleans. Horses and buggies line up awaiting customers for a French Quarter history and cultural tour. People sauntering and walk at leisure enjoying the beautiful day. Perhaps some have come from coffee and doughnuts at Cafe Du Monde.

In front there to the left is our famous Lucky Dog cart, the kind of cart Ignatius Reilly ran in between his philosophical musings about the city. The dogs are juicy and piping hot and you can get anything you want on it as long as what you want is what you have. It’s midday in the Quarter, seems like it’s spring. Nice.
