headed to the garden district this is a famous neighborhood in New Orleans noted

for its opulence and beauty and amazing architecture the street is lined with

the beautiful live oak trees many of the mansions that you'll pass by were owned

by the plantation owners made very wealthy by cotton and sugar the mansions

here date back to the 1800s some are done in Greek Revival style or Victorian

style and also as you travel down you will notice Loyola University and Tulane

Superdome. Did you know that in 2005 Hurricane Katrina blew the roof off the

Superdome and more than 10,000 people sought shelter inside?
