Plantation near New Orleans - Louisianna

Plantation near New Orleans shows slave quarters, grounds and tree-lined entrance. Immacutely kept up but with each step I realized that this was not the place that I agreed with. Inside the home, with it`s immaculate portrayal of wealth during those times, it also reminded me on how it was obtained. Very much a double edged sword, as one one hand I loved the architecture but on the other could not escape the question of why did this happen?

The Story behind the pictures
Old Plantations seem to call you in. Is it that voice from the past, or the grandeur of the buildings grounds, or the expansive wide open porches or the tree lined entrance roads, or even the movies that we grew up with. Whatever, they have the ability to entice one for viewing, and remind us of the past and that is needed to change the future.

This was definitely worth the stop for me. The grounds felt historic and the trees have stood the test of time. For many of us that have watched movies of the deep south, it will help to see how others actually did live during those times. This visit had something that all should see, it is part of our history, and it should be remembered by all.

John`s Recollections
Today these memories seem to be part of life, and I am so glad that we did experience the visit. The grounds were quite extensive but the visits to many of the buildings stand out as an example of that time.


New Orleans - Louisianna

Remember the hurricanes, however Fun & Food is still a major part of this very festive area. Twice visited, twice smitten with a most enjoyable time. It is the mingling with the people, the who cares attitude and the music that never seems to die that will continue to draw you back. BUT, do take care of yourself as it is not always the place to be.

Party time and I do mean party time for all that have that inclination. The city that never dies and has seen so many recent hardships.

Exciting lifestyle but one always has their hands in their pockets. The only place on our travels where a crime was attempted.

John`s Recollections
Even though the life style seems a bit on the wild side, I have not been able to stop visiting when in the area. The history, and the atmosphere always draws you back to visit once again.
