The beginning of our walking tour through the French Quarter

Continuing on my New Orleans adventure ... I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of the French Quarter. I think it was supposed to last an hour, but we were still going at the 2 hour mark. Our tour guide was quite a character and he was full of interesting information about the area. I found it fascinating when our guide shared that this street view was Walt Disney's favorite view of the French Quarter, and that it was an inspiration for New Orleans Square at Disneyland.

I love to walk, and would love to walk that tour, taking in the sight, the story, the art of it all. Just beautiful.

Lovely, Claire. I admire the fact that you're still finishing and posting pages. I haven't done one thing since November!!! And I had such good intentions.

I love the way you finished off these 2 pages - and I sure would love to do that tour with you again!

This is a lovely journal page, Claire. The perspective is so good and something I have so much trouble with.

So beautiful, Claire! Great job with the person you painted in there also- that is tough, but it really makes a difference and puts life into the painting!
what a fun time you had- thanks for sharing.
