Before we went we printed several walking tours from Frommers Guide. We did Algier's Point the first day since we wanted to ride the ferry across the Mississippi, it was a really nice area and one of the older parts of town, it was a theme that almost half of the houses had either burned or flooded several times. We also did a couple around the French Quarter, it is a great way to get out and appreciate all the different architectural influences that can be found in the city. We really liked the different balconies and ironwork and the courtyards found in a lot of the buildings. We walked through the U.S. Mint and the Farmer's Market to find some souvenirs, successfully. And ended on Pirate's Alley which ironically is located right next to the Cathedral.
