New Orleans 30+ years later

It's been a long time since Gary and I first traveled to New Orleans. Much has changed and one can only say that the big easy, has not had it easy after Katrina and this years oil spill. The city lives but the scares are deep and you wonder if they will ever heal. We are in an RV park setting on a canal between the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain. The wall behind us is one of the levies that broke flooding the 9th ward.

The people of New Orleans are proud of their cities comeback, of their Saints Football team and their spicy cuisine. We walked the French Quarter which was not flooded and enjoyed a bowl of gumbo. It was in the mid eighties today and the warm weather should continue through Thanksgiving.
