Refreshing New Orleans

Esplanade Avenue and Bayou Road

I took a panoramic sequence of photos during a rainstorm from the balcony of the Clio Suite.  This sequence is from lakeside to riverside.

The tree in front of 2212 Esplanade Avenue

It was raining where North Tonti Street crosses Esplanade Avenue to our right.  It was raining on North Miro Street, too, a block away.  Thunderheads were roiling over North Tonti Street.  The sun was shining over North Miro Street.  If New Orleans has an aversion to water, the city cannot blame the kind of rain that fell on the corner of Esplanade Avenue and North Miro Street when I took these pictures.  

The 180th degree

It was pouring buckets.

The Gasoline Stranger

That is the way it is sometimes in New Orleans.  Sometimes it rains and sometimes it pours.  There is always someplace to be.  Where?  Someplace dry.  We'll meet you at Napoleon House.  

Esquire magazine ranks Napoleon House as one of America's 10 best bars.  Esky is right.  La Belle Esplanade, LLC is ranked #16 out of 150 New Orleans bed and breakfasts on TripAdvisor.  We are waiting for someone from Esquire Magazine to book a reservation.  

Our business relies on honest reviews through word of mouth.  Like Larry told me, "The only question that matters is, would you recommend us to a friend?"

A votre sante,
