Andrew Jackson enters New Orleans in the shadow of Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France to snatch the city from France in 1815. βοΈ
Oh wait, he was actually defending the city from a British invasion. ππ€·π»ββοΈ
Damn, I love history (and New Orleans).
Side note: this church had officially leveled up to cathedral rank 23 years prior.

If I ever make it to Japan, Ghibli Park is now on the list to visit.
Apparently this theme park is confusing and unconventional, just like the movies made by its legendary namesake animation studio.
Obviously, a weird theme park that isn’t really a theme park is on my must-see list. π
One more reason to visit Japan. β
