Wonderful ride through the French quarter with a super patient mule. Lucy the driver and historian gave a great overview of the French quarter, pointed out important buildings and architectural elements, history and the influence of all the groups who settled in New Orleans. She noted key places with famous and infamous people. Great guide.
