New Orleans

The city is named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as Regent for Louis XV from 1715 to 1723, as it was established by French colonists and strongly influenced by their and African cultures. It is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz),and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in the United States.

Gators

Louisiana Gators

Alligators inhabit the bayous and swamplands of Louisiana. Female gators

lay about 50 eggs, which hatch at 9 inches. They grow to 20 feet and can

weigh as much as 1000 pounds. Alligators use their short, strong legs for

walking, but rely on their powerful tail for swimming.

Thank you Heather D. for the postcard!
