Big Easy


Barrataria Bayou, GATOR!

swampy canals




Julia and I have been in New Orleans for a few days. Such an interesting city with so much history. I guess when somethings about 300 years old there's a considerable amount of history involved. The architecture is is so unique and really defines something about the city. High ceilings and windows that stretch from floor to ceiling. Everyone we've met have been nice except the lady at the art museum who must've been having a bad day. The art museum itself is pretty nice. a good permanent collection with some great pieces by Joeseph Cornell and an impressive exhibition of African and Japanese artifacts. Went to the Barrataria Bayou. We saw some alligators and birds and lizards and fish. We saw some big boats. We listened to some great music. Thanks to our friend Carson we've had about as good of accommodations as one could ask for and wonderful company/suggestions on what to explore.
Next we're headed to Austin Texas to see Kevin.
