As part of my project at my company I have been researching ways to improve the user experience of technical software developed in-house. This has involved mostly lots of reading, but I decided to supplement this learning by attending a conference in New Orleans for two days in March. Of course I found time to take some photos while I was there.
My hotel was a few blocks away from the French Quarter and Bourbon Street area. On the night I arrived I wandered out to find some food. I hadn't gone far when I heard a trombone playing the Flintstones theme song in the distance. I followed the sound to Bourbon Street. It was after 10 PM on a Wednesday, but the street was still crowded.
I found some pizza by the slice and went back to the hotel for the night, but the following day after the conference, I walked several miles from the French Quarter to the Whole Foods in Uptown. Along the way there was unusual vegetation.
There were also many beautiful buildings.
I think the last one symbolizes the city in a way. The pink surface cries out "party time!" while the large crack up the corner says there's a little rott beneath the surface. In New Orleans there were obviously many beautiful features, and many opportunities for fun, but the aging city has its problems. In all I enjoyed the city very much and would certainly go back again.
