Pros: Very nice, good look at the animals in the waters around Louisiana Cons: A bit expensive for the few hours you will be in there.

Architectural Vignettes
New Orleans, with its richly old buildings, its sly, sophisticated - sometimes almost disreputable - air, and its Hispanic-Gallic traditions, has more the flavor of an old European capital than an American city. Townhouses in...
