Posting from November 7, 2012, Beautiful Day in City Park, New Orleans, Louisiana

Grand Val de Grace by Jean-Robert Ipousteguy

I spent a beautiful day in New Orleans.  The day began with a chill in the air, and I started out in boots and a sweater.  We bought some groceries.  I changed into my sandals, and we had a lovely picnic in City Park.  Afterwards we played in the Sculpture Garden.
