NOLA: Day Six

Tuesday, November 10

Today was our last day in New Orleans, but we managed to squeeze in some last minute sightseeing.

711 Royal Street, where Truman Capote wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms. 

The Jean Lafitte French Quarter Visitor Center -- a good place to have gone first rather than last!

The Hermann-Grima House, an 1831 townhouse. Our tour guide provided us with much detail about life among the wealthy in the 19th century French Quarter.

Thus ended our sojourn in the legendary vieux carre. Not with a bang but a whimper, a very charming whimper. This was a life-altering experience for me, comparable only to my first trip to New York. A fork in the river? We shall see.
