My friend Julie was spending some vacations in the USA and came to Jacksonville to visit, but we decided to take a road trip to New Orleans instead. I will try to make a little video of our stay but here are some pictures:
Lalaurie Mansion
Whitney Plantation
Live Music and Seafood Gumbo
Real (delicious) bread!!
Bourbon Street
Romeo Spikes
(You can read more about that here)
Marie Laveau’s Tomb
Nicolas Cage’s (future) tomb
I found an undergoing editing with rushes from my April-June 2016 stay in Florida on my computer.
I decided to make it a souvenir of the 4 key locations of my stay:
I took almost no photos of my last trip to the US, but the few of them make a good summary of those 2 months.
Raiford, FL
Prison made TØP beanie
Macclenny Christmas Craft fair

One of my last days in Florida I stopped by at an army shop-surplus, and I took some pictures I kept aside to share them here… and I realise I never did. No big difference with a French one, except for the “sexy” mannequin out side and the size of it (once again).
As stated in my previous post, my July 4th plane was canceled. It was replaced by an earlier plane the same day but my timing was already very tight, impossible for me to catch that plane … unless of course I cancel my visit with the husband and ah, well… 😉 So I was rebooked on a plane the next day and I eventually spent the evening with my in-laws.
Not so bad, at the end of the day, I didn’t have to run after visitation, and I saw the July 4th fireworks.
We opted to watch it from the Riverside Arts Market, under the Fuller Warren Bridge. Booths of drinks, cakes, popcorn and so on, live concert, everyone wearing blue, white, red and stars. People arrive early, we were there around 7 pm and there was already a lot of people (for fireworks at 10.45 pm).
To me, any celebration is a bit sad since it is one more thing that I can’t share with Alan.
