Day one of our cross country adventure is coming to a close. We sent the afternoon in New Orleans and are now settled into our hotel in Lafayette, LA which leaves about 7 hours until we get to San Antonio. We will be in San Antonio for a couple of days.
I really enjoyed New Orleans this afternoon even though it was a very short stop. We spent some time walking around the French Quarter which I loved, especially the street performers. They were awesome. I wish we would have had more time to peruse the antique and art shops, but with small children and limited time, we avoided then for the most part. I have to admit that I was a little shocked about how dirty it was, especially canal street. ICK
I was also very sad to are how much of the devastation from Katrina is still evident. There are so many homes that are still destroyed and entire areas that are deserted. I guess I was expecting it to be so much better since it has been 5 years. It was heart breaking.
I wil try to post pics as soon as possible and hopefully write a longer post, but my laptop cord is missing, so I am relying on the ipad for now and the virtual keyboard is giving me fits. For our family and friends who are reading this, we love you and miss you.
