New Orleans 2019

Having never been there we decided that the run-up to Mardi Gras was a good time to visit New Orleans. We signed up for a Road Scholar flexible program which gave us lots of free time to explore on our own. Our accommodations were at the historic Monteleone Hotel in the French Quarter which in itself was a treat!
