It was BRUTALLY hard getting pretty photos of The French Quarter because every morning the streets were littered with trash, food, and vomit. Literally every morning when I got up and slipped out to take photos there were crews not only cleaning the streets but power washing the walls of buildings!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6167\" src=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-1600x1066.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-96x64.jpg 96w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/scottking.info\/blog\/..\/Pics\/IMG_5548.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> This is Royal street.
