The French Quarter in New Orleans

Everywhere you turns when visiting The French Quarter in New Orleans you’ll encounter some form of street performer … musicians, mimes, acrobats and jugglers, dancers, and costumed figures.

There few images represent some of the performers or characters that we came upon. Some are extremely talented … and all want money for watching them or taking a photo.
