French Quarter By Day and Night

We explored the French Quarter of New Orleans during both the day and night time. During day, we saw all of the beautiful, unique architecture on an informal walking tour we followed from our lonely planet USA book. At night, we stopped into 6 or 7 different shows, with music styles ranging from dueling pianos, to cajun, zydeco, blues, and southern rock. We also watched an awesome brass jazz band playing in the street (all of the members were around age 20-22). Oh, and also, the cops patrol on horseback on Bourbon Street, as this seems to be the only feasible way they can get through the crowds to control the craziness. We love Louisiana...
