Day 1
Well we just got into New Orleans. Drove a little over 500 miles today. Not much in the way of scenery on the way though. We were amazed though how much damage there still is in New Orleans from Katrina. There were a lot of neighborhoods and apartment complexes that were still completely closed or now abandoned. Our hotel is in the French Quarter though so no damage near by. Oh and we are only a couple hundred yards from Bourbon Street. Gonna relax for a while then go exploring. Might be some more posts later but we'll see what happens.

Man I hear you about the Katrina damage... when I was there doing research for work I was AMAZED at how much damage there was, especially in the lakeview areas. Yikes. While you're in New Orleans... you ought to stop in and eat at the Palace Cafe. 605 Canal St. near the Marriot and between Chartres and Royal Streets (right at the edge of the French Quarter).
I will totally 2nd the Alabama Drivers statement - when you cross the state line it's like everyone gets stupid. Very Frustrating!Beep Beep Toot Toot!
