New Orleans

Yesterday I stayed in the airport...

It was much colder for me because I was in Miami before.

It is 80°F (27°C) in Miami, but in New Orleans, it is 40°F (5°C).

This picture seems like Southern country atmosphere, but actually it is very cold.

In New Orleans, street car is popular transportation.

Unfortunately, now it is under repairing.

So, bus runs on the street train's railroad.

Hu~~, it takes 2 hours to get my hostel!!

I transferred buses 3 times...


I left my luggage in the hostel and started sightseeing!

I went to French Quarter, which is main area in New Orleans.

The street is like this.

Even in the afternoon, everybody was drinking inside the bar.

This is also hurricane city...

Too bad...

In the middle of this area, there is cathedral.

 I thought as if I were in Disney world.

Next to this Cathedral, there is Louisiana State Museum, which was used for the meeting when Louisiana was given to the US from France.

Napoleon ruled this Louisiana in 18th century, so this city has French culture.
  
I found one of his death masks.

I heard some music.

I also saw them later, so I think they had played for over 2 hours... 

In the night I went to French Quarter again.

In the night, the same street I went in the day time was lively.

There are a lot of live house there.

I entered one of them.

 

Umm, it was the mix of jazz & blues.

This old guy sang very well~~.

I will come this street tomorrow.

Tomorrow is New Year Eve!!

Sounds awesome!! 

Last Day in Miami

Day befor yesterday and yesterday, I enjoyed southern country’s atmosphere, so I changed to visit city of Miami.

First of all, I was surprised about this!

 

Actually, this train has no driver!?!?

Everything is automatic!!

I haven’t seen a train like this.

This train technology is quit awesome!

 

Secondly, I found a lot of Cuban people and culture in Miami.

There are many Cuban frag.

 

Now Cuban people must be nostalgic.

Is he thinking about his home country, Cuba?? 

 

By the way this old person looks good, doesn't he?

I like his atmospher.

After feeling Cuba, I went to fancy area.

At that time, I found a nice bike stand.

In the bay area, there is a market.

It was very big mole.

Today is Saturday, so this market was packed.

Someone was playing Latin music.

Of course there were a lot of audience.

My legs were moving spontaneously~~

Now I am in the New Orleans Airport.

 

It took only 2 hours from Miami to New Orleans.

Usually, I move by bus, but it takes 24 hours, so I decided to take a flight.

I haven't booked today's place to stay, so I will sleep in the airport.

This is 1 way to save money...

I'm looking forward to going sightseeing this city.

Especially, in the night time♪
