"Now didn't it rain, chillun
God's gonna 'stroy this world with water,
Now didn't it rain, my Lord,
Now didn't it rain, rain, rain"

We had missed one downpour, but it started to look like threatening overhead again, so we decided to head back towards the quarter.

Sure enough, just after we left the streetcar it started to rain.

We huddled under a balcony with a bunch of other people for almost an hour as cold water poured down.

Apparently, if you drink enough, it doesn't bother you, as this young man is demonstrating.

Here I am, kind of wet, back in our courtyard (left)

Time for a nap (above)

(above) This car, with license plate "MARKY" was parked in front of our building for most of our visit, so my Marky needed a picture with it.

(Left) New Orleans is full of offbeat characters.  This picture was fuzzy but too good to pass up.

The name says it all!
