Sitting in front of Jackson Square

      Undoubtedly, New Orleans is unique in the United States. I had never visited another city in the United States, except Miami, but I saw many others interesting cities by famous movies. All of these spots are completely distinct from New Orleans. This city is amazingly awesome. Each time that I go out, each place that I go, each city block, I can see different faces of New Orleans, is terrific. New Orleans is a great mix of cultures, because here is one of the most important ports in the world. It was through this port that New Orleans exploded culturally.
      Today is Sunday afternoon. I almost never go to downtown at this afternoon. It will be my first time downtown with the goal to describe everything around me. I am going to Jackson Square in the French Quarter. It is the heart of this city. I am getting off the streetcar on Bourbon Street. This is one of the most famous and exciting streets in New Orleans. Fortunately, today is a warm day and I can walk with comfortable clothes.
      To get on Washington Artillery Park, I had to walk through Bourbon Street and cross Jackson Square. Then I needed to go up some stairs. Now I am sitting in front of a cannon war. There are many people here. Almost all people are taking pictures, or making short movies. From here, I can see the cathedral to my left, the Mississippi river to my right, Café Du Monde in front of me, and behind me I can see some buildings. The view from here is breathtaking. It is incredible see how many different kinds of people are here. The Café Du Monde is full and there are two more lines of people waiting for drink café au laits and taste the famous beignets.
      The St. Louis Cathedral is so beautiful, I have never been inside of it, but I think that if it looks like outside, it should be wonderful, it is full of details. Between the Cathedral and me is Jackson Square with a historical sculpture of Andrew Jackson riding a horse. The park is full of tourists; some of them are lying down on the grass. In front of the park, there are eight carriages, taking tourists on trips through the French Quarter. Near me, down the stairs, some guys are showing off their abilities. They are doing acrobatics, dancing and singing. The people are staring at them. The stairs are full of people sitting and watching their show. To my right the train is passing. It is so noisy, but the river is calm and I can see the cruise ship leaving by the river, it is beautiful. Some birds are flying above the river, trying to catch food that people are throwing in the water. Now is almost sunset. The streetlights will begin to turn on in a few minutes.
