The Lower Ninth Ward

We had breakfast in the French Quarter before getting into the car to drive around the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the neighbourhoods worst hit by Katrina, which has not been rebuilt (I’m sorry there are a lot of photos, but I found it very hard to cut these photos out).

We then spent the afternoon looking around the record stores and bookshops of the French Quarter, before heading uptown for dinner. Then I went back to the French Quarter to get some photos of the Quarter lit up at night.
