Sunday, July 23 - Visiting the French Quarter

Eric Isaacs spent all summer in New Orleans as the person in charge of running Nechama's deployment sites and maintaining all of our equipment. No work crews went out on Sundays, so he kindly volunteered to spend part of his free time showing us around the French Quarter.

Typical scene; narrow streets, beautiful balconies	Cafe Du Monde, source of coffee and... (EMI)	...beignets, amazing fried pastries covered in powdered sugar! (EMI)
Big Easy in a nutshell; street sign held up with improvised plastic and wire ties	The outdoor covered Market sells some produce, but mostly crafts, books, and other merchandise, like a multi-block-long jumble sale (EMI)	At the border between the old French Quarter and adjacent, modern downtown
Pirate Jean Lafitte's tavern	The Mississippi flowing past the French Quarter	Example of gates on the levee, which can slide closed to help protect the Quarter
