I-10 Irish Bayou exit in Louisiana

Leaving New Orleans on I-10, driving East towards Mississippi, and before the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, there's an exit to Irish Bayou. I decided to get off there and take some photos because of this castle house. Behind this house is I-10.

And as you're driving I-10, off to the right, you'll also see the back side of this Quonset Hut house on stilts. When I was in the Navy, we lived in Quonset Huts on the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico.

More houses on stilts.

After photographing these houses at the Irish Bayou exit I continued on I-10 and drove to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

Driving The French Quarter

I started the morning of Day 5 of my trip south taking video around the Manchac exit then continued on I-55 to New Orleans. I wasn't sure where I was going for the rest of the day and I saw a sign for the French Quarter Visitor Center so I went there to get directions and information. I ended up driving around the French Quarter for an hour or so after and I took more video. Here's some vidcaps. In the video (at the bottom) you'll see...

lots of cop cars

workmen

a skateboarder with a goofy hat

a guy taking a smoke break

a tour group on those two-wheel segway scooters

and a workman up in the air

Here's the video while I drove the one-way streets of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana on the morning of Friday, January 18, 2013. You'll see workmen, delivery men supplying the shops, bars and restaurants, a couple of tour groups, many police cars and a few of the local characters.
