The next morning, it was as though the entire city had a giant hangover.  Everything was as calm and peaceful as it had been wild and chaotic the night before.  The cruise wasn't departing until 6pm, so we had the better part of the day to explore a bit of the city.  We walked from our hotel to Jackson Square (seen here), which is at the heart of the French Quarter.&lt;br /&gt;
