| The ferry to Old Algiers. Five minutes to load, five minutes to cross, five minutes to unload. |
The line at Cafe du Monde was around the block, so we took a break and took the $2 ferry ride across the muddy Mississippi to 'burbs of New Orleans: Old Algiers. This residential community was founded in 1719, though the homes here are not quite that old. On December 26th, they were still festively decorated for Christmas. The homes consist of restored Creole townhouses and shotgun style homes (the latter so named because if you opened the front and back doors, you could shoot a bullet straight through because all the doors are aligned).
