Down to NOLA

Down to NOLA

Guest post written by William Miller

Walking down the streets of New Orleans is unlike anything my wife and I have ever experienced. The French Quarter is really something to see. ItÂ’s also a lot fun to watch all the revelers, and thereÂ’s tons of great sights and sounds. There really is something inherently fun about this place. Even though parts of the city can seem a little seedy at times; there is a definite charm here.

One of the special things about this city is that it itÂ’s been dubbed the birthplace of jazz. On just about every street in the Quarter, thereÂ’s a club or a restaurant that hosts live jazz. There are even makeshift bands that come together and blare out live jazz in the streets. IÂ’m really glad I brought my new HearingAids; otherwise I might have missed out on some of this excellent music!

New Orleans is a place to really let loose and weÂ’re doing just that. Perhaps tonight weÂ’ll make our way to Bourbon Street and show this city just how vibrant we really are.
