The Monday evening that mom and dad got to New Orleans was a pretty one so we set out to check another item off of my NOLA Bucket List: ride the ferry to Algiers. Its a quick glide across the Mississippi River to the western shore where Algiers is located. We walked up and down a bike/jogging path along the river and snapped some pictures before riding back across.
Waves created by the ferry.
A statue of Louis Armstrong greets folks as they exit the boat. Crescent City Connection seen in the background.
Houses and buildings along the river.
The Smiths :)
A time lapse of a barge going up river. We had to wait for it to get far enough away to cross back over.
The sun setting behind the New Orleans skyline.
A panoramic picture from the front of the ferry showing the river and eastern shores of downtown New Orleans.
I'm glad we were able to make the trip over. $4 a person well spent ($2 each way).
