Saw an interesting photo on another site, and it really shook me to the core. Sean and I were in New Orleans this past Easter weekend, and had such an amazing time. I had never been before -- we attended Easter Mass in the country's oldest cathedral (even though neither of us are Catholic), took a riverboat ride, ate at Brennan's, went to the street market, rode the streetcar to the cemetaries, everything! It was such fun. And now it's all pretty much demolished.
This photo is of the main drag...the streetcars run between those streetlamps, from Harrah's Casino all the way to the cemetaries. This photo is actually very near to Morton's, where we had a gorgeous dinner. Truth be told, we didn't really have dinner until I got back from the bar, where I was pacing in front of a television, watching the last few minutes (and overtimes) of UIUC in the final four.
Here are a few other shots from our trip, as a reminder of what a beautiful area New Orleans is -- not to mention Biloxi, Jackson, Gulfport, and all of the other cities that were pounded by these storms.
I thought I was having a bad week, and my problems are NOTHING in comparison to what is going on down there. It's a reminder for us all, of our own frailty.
