We had a lovely Segway meetup in the French Quarter last week. Thanks to New Orleans City Segway for hosting us and taking us around the Quarter.

We saw the street that inspired Walt Disney’s Port of New Orleans, learned some of the history of the Cabildo and saw examples of wrought iron versus cast iron.

If you are interested in a tour, City Segway offers several packages. Find out more here.

Here’s what we did during our Sept. 4 meetup:
