My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by spending last weekend in New Orleans... we couldn't have asked for a better getaway! The Grand Victorian was first class and we couldn't find a bad restaurant to eat at. The crowds weren't too bad, so we were able to get all over the French Quarter with relative ease. Despite it being the off-season, Bourbon Street was jumping (as usual) and Galatoire's was jam-packed! We visited tons of landmarks, shops and attractions via the streetcars - the best way to travel around in the Big Easy!

I was in New Orleans this past weekend and the artist who painted the pictures you have on your blog was not at his post. Do you know who he is by chance? I'd like to contact him.

Hey stoosh1, I know this is a year or so late... but, I just came across your comment and took up the challenge.

Zooming in on my original photo gave me a close-up of his signature, but all I could make out was Michael S... but, my Google-fu is strong! ;)

Turns out, it is Michael Smiroldo: http://www.michaelsmiroldo.com
