Seems most of the silver paint in the US gets sold in New Orleans.

French Quarter

DSCF3337

It was my first time walking around the French Quarter - we put on a lot of miles! Early mornings you find people out washing down the roads and sidewalks.

Beads everywhere! Everyone is so into Mardi Gras!

The reindeer even have beads.

Daiquiri places all of New Orleans - I found them amazing!

Daiquiris of all flavors line the back wall like slushy machines in a convenience store.

Being Silly

I'm really trying to finish off my Florida trip photos, lol. While we walked around downtown Key West waiting to see if our parasailing trip would go (it didn't) I pointed my little point and shoot at practically everything.

Think I could swim to Havana? I don't think so, but that seems really close.

Mile 0 - very cool!

I was intrigued by sculptures around one of the buildings. These dancers are huge!

Loved the photographer! I stood in front of him and pointed my camera in the line his would be and here's what he's snapping. . .

This painter was busy painting naked ladies.

My guys had to be a part of the painting. (The guy in the middle is part of the sculpture) Haden on the left, Dennis on the right.

The guys got me to pose too, lol.

Going to the Philadelphia Museum

{I'm still in Missouri - basically NO internet, short trips to Hardees to take care of business needs - just not enough time to play right now. :(  I MISS YOU guys!  I'll be home Sunday and running around trying to catch up with you!}

So many things to see.

Each for himself, gathered up the cherished purposes of life, its aims and ambitions, its dearest affections, and flung all, with life itself, into the scale of battle.

My husband is from Honduras - this is the first time I've seen the Honduran flag.

Yet, another, nice fountain. This one sits in front of the museum.

Do you think I like puddle reflections? :0) Yep, you're right! I do!  you should have seen me trying to get myself in the proper position to attain this one!

Finally made it up all the steps and found the museum locked. It's ok though, we had limited time anyway.


lc2605


We saw the Rocky statue, and I had the opportunity to snap a photo of a lady snapping a photo of a man pretending to be Rocky. Which, from what we hear, happens many times each day.


lc2603


There was an exercise class going on.  Wouldn't you love to be a part of it?!


lc2604


I bet these ladies have great bums!
