I think I ever go back I would have a different experience for the only reason that I am no longer a teenaged girl. No chance of mistaken me for a young hooker. I think that's what really turned me off to the city. I wouldn't have mind all the touristy stores if the rest of it had not been so sleazy.

Like I was indeed in the French Quarter outside of I forget which church. But it's that famous one. There were two sets of benches facing each other before the church. I was tired, so I sat down. In front of a church. On Sunday. Thought I was safe. No, a guy sits across from me and stares at me. Not even fifteen feet away. Just stares at me. I get up and walk across the courtyard and he is just following me with his head. Turning this way and that. Finally, he gets up and comes up to me and tells me how there's a bar open down the street. I tell him I don't drink. I'm nineteen. He says it doesn't matter. He can get me hammered on hurricanes. He knows people. And I tell him thanks but no thanks and make a be line to the church. He starts to follow me but stops once I am inside.

I just sat in the church for half an hour hoping that once I walk out he would be gone. Luckily enough, he was gone.

Oh, and the night before, I was wandering around the city when I stopped at a hot dog vendor. We get to talking when he asks who I am here with. I tell him that I am alone. AND HE FREAKS! He's telling me that New Orleans at night is not safe for a teenage girl. And it wasn't a talking down to. He was actually really worried for me. You could see it in his face. It was almost a pure panic. He wouldn't let me leave until he made me promise that I would go back to my hotel room. He even got a cab for me. (With a woman driver) Seeing how he was a native, I took his advice and I went back to my hotel room.

Yeah....New Orleans wasn't a fun visit.

Did you look like a runaway, perhaps? Assholes target young girls who look like runaways, unfortunately. :(

If you do go back, try to get out of the French Quarter from time to time. It's tough for tourists to do that if they don't have a car, but I think you get a more complete picture of the city that way.

I looked like a punk-goth. (Because that was a common scene back home.) And apparently many of the teenaged prostitutes were homeless punks. So, I am guessing they looked at my dyed hair, band t-shirt, combat boots and my over all black clothing and thought, "Yep, hooker."
