The French Quarter in New Orleans is also a large area. There are many things to visit here. There are also some very interesting small designs in the French Quarter, with things of different specifications designed according to the layout here. I really like the appearance here.

Day8: On the way to New Orleans, we visited a chili farm. Tabasco is a famous global chain brand. The small manor was full of the smell of chili sauce. The buildings were all fiery red. There were many different types of chili, including pepper green, sweet chili, spicy to the point of tears, and the corresponding spiciness of each type. There was a garden nearby with alligators, and the small shop also had many aquatic animal specimens. We had a subway lunch, and suddenly I thought the pizza was delicious. I wanted to add ketchup, but the waiter looked surprised, hehe, maybe they don't add sauce. We continued on the road and arrived at the French Quarter of Louisiana. There were all kinds of small things in the French market, such as Christmas, Halloween, witches, skulls, crosses, and some antiques. The Moon Walk embankment is close to the Gulf of Mexico, and you can see the bridge and high-rise buildings in the city. There is a cathedral in Jackson Square, and there are many witches in front of the stalls doing divination.

The Steamboat Natchez is the last authentic steamboat on the Mississippi River. You can enjoy the cruise experience the city of New Orleans has to offer. Revel in the Jazz music, craft cocktails and local cuisine, all while getting beautiful views of the city.

I stumbled upon this park which has the most wonderful statues and tributes to Louis Armstrong and other musicians, a beautiful lake and the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts. Truly a gem of a park and well worth a visit.

I think this is the most beautiful and magnificent church in the entire United States. It is located on Jackson Square. The church is a huge white building. The interior is simple but very sacred. It is very nice.
