Up in Smoke

I found out earlier this month that my old childhood home burned down. I had an old neighbor go over to the house with me so I could take some pictures. When I walked into the yard I had a wall of childhood memories hit me like a brick. All of the good, the bad and the ugly memories. Here are the pics.

This is the front of my old house! The porch used to be enclosed.

This is the back of my old house. The garage use be open and used only as a carport. I also use to climb out the upstairs window to sunbathe on the porch roof.




This picture is looking into the picture window. There use to be a dividing wall where the first arrow to the left is. The second arrow shows the staircase. The third arrow shows somrthing added that wasn't there when i lived there. The other arrows are pointing to the doors to other rooms.


In this picture you can see to windows towards the front. These use to be my old bedroom windows.

At some point I will talk of some of the memories I have of living there. I'm just not quite ready for that yet. I'll try to find some old pictures of the inside.

New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 4

These are the buildings we seen on one of the haunted tours and the only one we could go on. The first four pictures are the same house.




The most haunted house in the French Quarter. This was a house of torture.


Our hotel on the tour. I guess in one of the back buildings there use to be a hospital for Civil War soldiers.


Now if I remember right a woman died on the roof of this building while holding the chimney




The Cabildo which is haunted by a doctor from the civil war




The Cabildo which is now a museum




The guy in the photo is our tour guide. The building behind him use to be a brothel.




This bar was on the tour and has been around since the late 1700's. If I remember correctly this bar was used to pirate matrials in the civil war to help the confederates.

New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 3

We stayed in the French Quarter and I got several shots of the architecture. These are some of the better shots I got.



Haunted bar on Bourbon Street

I seen this on one of the buildings and just had to take a picture of it

Looking down the streets


Cathedral



I have decided to let the pictures from our trip do the talking. It is hard to put into words the history and the gorgeousness of all the buildings. The next set of pictures will be the buildings on the Haunted History Tour.
