potatoes ready in May. saw them at several places setting out strawberry plants. he says they get some berries next year arrived at Hammond. La. at 10 a m. took a couple of snaps at the station, the weather has cleared up and the sun shining now, some places in the low places the trees are entirely covered with moss hanging on them. arrived in New Orleans at 11.15 am. went up town with Mr Smith who is going to hunt us a place to stay when here. we tried several rooming house but finally landed at the Monteleone Hotel on Royal street about a block and a half from Canal street the main street here. paying $10.00 per day. for one room with two beds and one room connecting with one bed, but they are very nice.

{Side note} Population of New Orleans in 1920 387.219. Elevation at station only seven feet.

one of the first impressions of the town are a lot of the cross streets very narrow. and used only as one way streets, but Canal street is a very wide & busy street. with four car tracks in the middle then room for a row of Cars to Park each side of car track then room for at least three more autos to pass each other. Had supper at a Restaurant across the street. costs about the same as at home (steak potatoes Bread & tea 55 cts)
