I just found this Earth Cam, street view from The Cat’s Meow at the corner or Bourbon St and St Peter St.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be there at a pre-arranged time and wave to family and friends back home?
We did the same thing, with son at home on computer as we stood in front of the Tropical Isle Webcam corner of Bourbon & Orleans. Here is a link to that camera. FYI, it refreshes every couple of minutes.

Note to self: Tropical Isle has a great drink called Hand Grenade.
And I should have mentioned that Muriel’s Restaurant has a wonderful cam on Jackson Square – when it’s working, that is…Â Â Â http://www.nola.com/jacksonsquarecam/
We have a great shot from there of Bill and I holding a sign that says, Hi Kids! Send money!
I’ve done this with the Jackson Square webcam on nola.com. One time, I have my friend look on there at a given time and she saw us. Another time, I was there and called my daughter at college and she saw my husband and I as we talked on the phone. She was able to save the picture for us. It’s a lot of fun.
