Quarter Day

Every year around Christmas time we and the Barattini's head down to the Quarter and take in the sights. It all started back in college when a bunch of the Loyola crew would take the streetcar to Poppy's. The tradition has changed with our age and size of pocketbook, so now we usually start with lunch at Palace Cafe. Jerry and Dot joined us this year and after lunch we walked down Royal, got a drink at Molly's, then walked back down Bourbon. One of the things I love about the trip is getting to see a different side to the Quarter other than Bourbon or Jackson Square. This year I especially enjoyed the views down alleys. Here are a few of the photos I took with the iPhone. Most are a bit blurry since it's just a camera phone so fair warning and all.





My favorite French Quarter view. The lovely Galatoire's with it's patrons all dressed up, right next door to a tacky lingerie shop. Good stuff.
