800 X 600 is good.... ;)...!

It means I don't have to scroll the page horizontally to view them in entirety!... ;)....!

Lovely Photos... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Very nice photos. As Fozzer says, 800x600 is good. They look fine to me. If you're worried about the quality don't compress them so much.

I figured you were out at the JRB.  I've got lots of family scattered around that area.

Did you check out this ship, as well? Some person played the pipes up on it for an hour before our flight back to Austin...

Bourbon street is in the French Ward, right?


We went for the LSU vs. Florida game last year, and the day before...

The police wouldn't even let me leave the hotel until after 6:00 AM, just to get one of those awesome 25 cent hamburgers  :'(.

And erm, did you try the popeye's there? It's awesome  :o!

Looks fun, and yeah, people really stretch the law there (think bondi beach).

Thanks for the compliments!!

I used to have a smaller monitor so I know how annoying it was to have to scroll over to see the rest of the picture, that's why I still do 800x600.  

As far as the Natchez, I saw it everyday while I was in class, the class was at Naval Support Activity Algiers, and we took a ferry boat across the Mississippi everyday to the 9th Ward where the Marine Reserve Base is (luckily the ferry took us straight to the base and not through town haha) and everytime we crossed the Natchez was making her way down the river before turning around and chugging back up.

And yes Bourbon Street is in the French Quarter, a wild and crazy place it is!
