Chris and Jacqui decided to enjoy the sites (and smells) of the Bayou by taking an Airboat Tour (not with this company, but similar kind of thing). It is a pretty cool 'boat', with a teflon-coated bottom which flies over water, mud and grass and gets you to many parts of the marshes and swamps that no other boats or vehicles can get to.

Here we see Jac modelling in front of some of the airboats. And on the right is the office of this very professional tour company.

The tour guides apologized for the lack of alligators on the Bayou (too cold for them - all hibernating) so instead they let us play with a live baby 'gator in the office. Again, Jacqui shows off her modelling skills.

While Chris was busy "working" Jac took a cemetery/voodoo tour around the French Quarter. The tour started from Royal Street (left) and took in many sites including a church with painted glass windows (right).

...St Louis cemetery No. 1. The tombs in the cemetery are mostly above ground due to the mushy ground.
