Gay Pride Parade, New Orleans…

While walking through the streets of the French Quarter one afternoon, we stumbled across a parade taking place down Bourbon Street…

This was no ordinary parade, but reminded me of a similar one that I had witnessed in Amsterdam in 2010.

While I stood slightly dismayed at the scenes that unfolded before me, Patricia whooped and yelled encouragement to the various groups and clubs that came out to show their colours…

Our visit to New Orleans had been longer than intended, and although I spent much of my time either fretting about the bike or trying to bring my blog up to date, I still managed to see a whole lot more than I would have, had I been alone in the city.

I am hoping that my next visit to New Orleans is more about having fun, than being “stressed out” half the time !!

    Looks like a gay time was had by all. Sometimes that crazy wife of yours worries me a bit 😉

    At least now we know what you were daydreaming about in Oklahoma. Hopefully Big Fella was the only one hit in the rear. 🙂
