New Orleans 2004

So I'm walking in the vicinity of the cathedral on my last full day in the city that care (and manners) forgot when I heard a jazz band and turned around and saw THIS! How cool was this?

Later that day I attended Mass (talk about a fish out of water; this was only my second mass ever) and drank a leeetle too much on the Bourbon St and stumbled my dorky self back to the St Peter's House to sleep for a couple of hours before I had to leave.

Postscript: I was SO hungover the next morning I was afraid I'd throw up on the airport shuttle.
