Plantation Days

The following day we took a plantation tour that lasted almost all day.  The driver gave a very thorough explanation about the history of the people who settled in the New Orleans' area.  The first platation was Oak Alley.

Those oak trees are about 300 years old.

Each bed has mosquito netting.

Brandy was out tour guide.

The second plantation was San Francisco.  Very colorful! This is the backyard view.

Front door

It was really painted this color originally and the ceilings.

Even the chamber pot is fancy.

Very unique plantation home, even the cistern, water collector, was painted bright blue.

That evening we went the French Quarter for dinner.
