Well, after Scott's surgery I got a sinus infection and then we traveled to New Orleans. Boy, that was fun. Scott had a conference there for his job and it was all paid for, so even though we were not in the best of physical condition to go... we went anyways. It was nice to visit, but neither of us would ever go back. It was hot, muggy, and dirty. The whole town looks like a construction site... and not just because of Katrina. In the French Quarter where they didn't get much destruction... it just seems... neglected. We did enjoy ourselves... but we were ready to come home early. Scott was really sore, but he did well. Here are some pictures from our trip.
These are pictures of the French Quarter area... this sign really says it all about Katrina. We talked to several people down there who lost everything. New Orleans is at less than 1/2 the population that they were before Katrina. The people were all really nice... probably the friendliest town I've ever been in. Too bad they can't clean up their streets. Even on Bourbon Street, there were 2 foot wide potholes, broken glass everywhere, and dumpsters overflowing. In front of the police station there was a light pole that had fallen down and was broken with glass everywhere, and had been there for a while.
