Our group started off in the late afternoon in search of the <a href=\"http:\/\/labyrinthataudubonpark.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">labyrinth<\/a> and arrived at the park just as the sun was beginning to set, giving us gorgeous light to walk the 1.8 mile paved path around the park. Not many other people were out walking during that hour, which gave me leave to imagine that the park and its riot of birdsong was for us alone. We never found the labyrinth; it would have been too dark to navigate even if we had, but none of us minded. Around us we could see the warm flickering glow of the gas lamps outside of the garden district mansions and the brighter twinking of the christmas lights bedecking the same. It&#8217;s funny that I have so little to say about what was actually one of my favorite places in the city. I suppose sometimes words just aren&#8217;t necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 76px; left: 495px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#8217;s an easy ride on the green streetcar from canal street to Audubon park, across the street from Loyola and Tulane Universities.
