A Visit to French Quarter in New Orleans

French Quarter in New Orleans is just an hour drive from our place in Mississippi. When hubby and I craved for beignet in Cafe' du Monde, we just hit the road and visit French Quarter. My husband loves the coffee in Cafe' du Monde because it has that great aroma and a Southern taste.

This is Cafe' du Monde along the French Quarter. If you are a tourist, you should not miss this place.

This is one of the streets in New Orleans.

French Quarter is a busy place especially in Mardi Gras season. If you love the crowd and party on the streets then, visit this place on Mardi Gras, Christmas and New Year. The streets here will transform into a party zone.

Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, the King of France

Here we are at the St. Louis Cathedral or  Cathédrale Saint-Louis, Roi de France where the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in New Orleans is located. Known as the oldest and continuously operating cathedral in the United States.

Saint Louis Cathedral is located in French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. It is located next to Jackson Square and facing the Mississippi River. We are actually in the Jackson Square, a historic park in the French Quarter. This park was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. Aside from Cafe' du Monde and French Market, you should also check out the St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square if you plan to visit New Orleans.

I am enjoying Football game this season because I have a team and I understand the game better now. When I was in College, I have a PE Subject and we study the rules of some Sports such as Baseball, Volleyball, Softball but not Football. When I arrived in the US which is basically a Football enthusiast, I just can't appreciate it. This year, I have a favorite team and I look forward on watching most of the games. Here is my top picks for NFL Week 15 :

• Cleveland BROWNS
• Tennessee TITANS
• England PATRIOTS
• Arizona CARDINALS
• Pittsburgh STEELERS
• Houston TEXANS
• San Diego CHARGERS
• Tampa Bay BUCCANEERS

So far I lost with the following teams that I pick:

• New York JETS (FALCONS won)
• San Francisco 49ers (EAGLES won)
• Chicago BEARS (Ravens won)
• Denver BRONCOS (RAIDERS won)
• Minnesota VIKINGS ( PANTHERS won)
• Washington REDSKINS (GIANTS won)
  
  Of course my Personal Favorite Team SAINTS of New Orleans who got 13 wins lost this week to Dallas COWBOYS. My friends at work would ask me teasingly " Who dat say they gonna beat them Saints? Who Dat? And with a stoop shoulder and sad face I answered: COWBOYS DAT! LOL! HAHAHA....Well, this week Saints had 13-1 but, its okay right? That is not a bad score for this season. They are still good for the SUPERBOWL.
