We're on rampart Street, right across
from the Louie Armstrong Park. And we're
going to catch a trolley. You can ride it
for $3 per person, all day. Hop on, hop off,
And see different parts of the town.
There's one route that goes to the
Garden District, and one that goes to
French Quarter and Downtown.
They're red and green. Green is Garden District.
We got on the red trolley, so we should be heading downtown.
We caught the trolley on Rampart Street, and now we're turning onto Canal Street.
And they do ride on rails that are
embedded in the road.
Those rails are all over this downtown area.
and out into the suburbs, out into the Garden District.
It has a driver's chair on either end, so it when it
gets to the end the line (there's Donna),
he can just switch positions and come back. Hang on!
Now we're on the St. Charles trolley.
It should take us to the Garden District.
Donna's got a window seat. I'm waving to people.
She's being friendly!
They've got the windows open, so that's good,
because it's a hot day.
Here's some of the houses in the Garden District.
With an all-day pass, you can get off and
on the trolley as many times as you want to.
And we got off of one in the Garden District,
and we're gonna get on another
one coming back and we're gonna get off
on Washington Avenue and go to the
Lafayette cemetery. So that's a nice
thing about the all-day pass.Three
bucks and you can just get off and on as
much as you want to. Here comes the
trolley. We're gonna catch it and get off
at Washington Avenue for the cemetery.
So we were on the St. Charles trolley, and
we got off at Washington Avenue. And
we're walking out to the Lafayette
Cemetery. Yeah it's one of the few that you can actually walk through, I guess, without booking a tour.
Here's the outer walls of
this cemetery. It goes for a long ways.
It's a really interesting cemetery. There's some
amazing vaults here.
Donna's trying to get people to wave at her!
Hey, she did it! They waved! Yay!!!!
There's some nice people in town.
And there's some non-wavers , too.
Another nice hotel in New Orleans is the Hotel Monteleone.
We're gonna go across the
street to check that out.
This is the Carousel Bar and Lounge. And the bar
actually rotates around like a carousel.
And if you come out of the front of the
International House Hotel and turn left,
you're headed toward Canal Street, one of
the main streets in New Orleans.
You can catch one of the streetcars on Canal Street,
which that can take you down to
the French Quarter along the riverfront,
or out to the Garden District.
There's people getting on the trolley over there.
We're gonna catch the trolley and go
down to the French Quarter area and ride
the Riverfront trolley.
We got off at the end of the Canal Street trolley line.
and we're gonna go and get on the
Riverfront trolley. That goes along the river, of course,
at the edge of the French Quarter.
And we got let out right by Harrah's Casino.
But we've got to go around this corner a ways to
get to the other one.
So we just walked around the corner. It says "6 Canal St., Riverfront 2".
And the station is
right next to the Audubon Aquarium of
the Americas.
Here he comes - Riverfront!
We see the Natchez Riverboat out there.
And there's the Jax Brewery.
And Toulouse Street.
There's the St. Louis Cathedral there.
And Jackson Square.
Dumaine Street station.
So from our hotel,
we can take two trolleys
and get to the French Quarter really easily.
And it would be a lot cheaper than parking if you were driving your car.
And the end of the line here is the French Market.
So you can get off and go to
Frenchmen Street. And see what's in that area.
The Spotted Cat
is on Frenchmen Street, the jazz club.
So it takes you about from one end of
the French Quarter to the other.
Actually he said on his return trip he's
gonna go down Canal Street. So we don't have to
change trolleys this time.
Yup, that's it!
