Although it didn't seem overgrown at all, as there were plenty of open spaces, too.

The courtyards, the brick, the lush green ferns, the moss on the trees! And all of the tropical colorful plantings. I think all that heat, humidity, rain, and sun combination make for a wonderful area to have a garden that is much like a confined jungle. Wonderful photos!

I didn't have a bad meal, except for the granola bar on the way to the airport. :) If you're there again, check out the Louis Armstrong Park Roses, the Garden District, and the city botanical garden.
