Pittsburgh residents also call them streetcars. They were such an easy way to get around when I was a youngster. Not sure if the city has them any longer, but I took the German Strassenbahn's many times during my 18 years of living in that country. Unlimited weekly tickets made it a breeze to get around the cities.

HI George. I hope they still have them in Pittsburgh. It is on our bucket list and would love to ride them around the city Thanks for sharing.

What's gonnin' on Paul? No breakfast at Angelina? No muffaletta at Napoleon House? No pastry at Sucre? Appreciate you got to Cochon, but did you go next door to the butcher? And the best shrimp and grits in town is at Atchafalaya.

Sorry, but we had a train to catch! Next time, come along...

It all looks great, but no fired pickles?

Sorry...not on the tour (and frankly, not on my mind, either!)

Thank you. Laura Plantation is at the top of my places to visit and revisit.

It's a beautiful hike, Whitney! I dislike the heat and humidity of New Orleans' summer, but this time of year sounds inviting and it's obviously charming! And while it's cold, winter is also beautiful. Here's a photo from my favorite place to hike, a 1 minute walk from my home, Fish Creek Provincial Park. We hike here along the Bow River in all four seasons, including winter. Snow slows you a little but it's not that deep as a rule. If it gets icy, you use microspikes.

Great piece! I especially love your last photograph!

Samantha shares her exciting time on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. It's something you have to experience for yourself to understand.

Winter visitors can see a quieter city, especially by escaping on foot or bike to the edges.

In remote areas of New Orleans Kayak, you can find a serene desert, often spared by man. Let's be honest, that's what everyone wants to see. A number of different groups will take you deep into these remote areas of Louisiana and guide you through the swamps, bringing you closer to wildlife. Along the way, you will hear the stories of the swamps; learn about their stories and their mysteries. The best guides will tell you about the pirates who once visited these swamps and the big foot...

Samantha shares the huge Christmas tree in the Crescent City.

I think tigers are the most beautiful animals in the world! So beautiful to look at -- yet at some level terrifying.

Thanks for the comment DrFumbleFinger. He is beautiful, but I was very happy for the glass and fences between us, lol.

Samantha looks forward to another visit to the Crescent City and has a full plan of free events to share!
