Well, kind of… We did that journey in reverse yesterday when we drove from Memphis down to New Orleans 
, running parallel to the Mississippi River .
The scenery was a little dull until we hit Louisiana, but with perfect timing we arrived in ‘The Big Easy’ at sunset last night, travelling over swamps and rivers for the last 50 miles or so and Jen managed to get a few nice Sunset photos.
Today we took a photographic tour round the historical French District which was lovely, taking in St. Louis Cathedral , Jackson Square , the French Markets etc. I’ve had far more practice at landscape photography than I have at street photography but I’m fairly pleased with the results. We started very early this morning though so we’re going to get some rest before our proper city tour tomorrow.
