And now what did you do TODAY?

Technically Yesterday.

Tried to get a streetcar to the garden district, but thought we had been transported back to the UK when we learned that due to track damage, there was a replacement bus service for the initial section.

That done, we finally were able to transfer to a streetcar not named desire and use our jazzy pass for its intended purpose.

A short walk later found coffee and bagels in a hole in the wall deli and had a chat with a local retiree (who may have been a fox news viewer based on their concern about "all the riots" in London and California).

Carried on walking along Magazine Street, taking in the gentrification and locally modified architecture

Then saw a bit of home away from home,went to investigate and learned the story behind it from call sign "Jaxxx" himself

Then onwards to the aptly named Audubon Park where we walked around the lake and saw plenty of White Ibis

And the aptly named black bellied whistling ducks.

Noisy buggers.

Then back on the St Charles street car back to downtown past some seriously imposing mansions. St Louis is not just the French Quarter.
