Hey all, we just got back from a crazy week in New Orleans, it really lives up to its reputation. We saw all the pre Mardi Gras nightlife on Bourbon Street, went to the Voodoo Museum, visited St Louis cathedral, cafe du monde, HUGE ASS BEERS and 'handgrenades', went to the Lafeyette Cemetary, listened to loads of blues and jazz, saw girls flash for beads, crazy car parking, boats still on the highways, cars in piles, reconstruction and devistation. You really can see the lack of interest from the US government in its clear discrimination towards the poorer areas, some only received power last week, 6 months after the storm, some still have none. It was a great trip though, Val and Kay flew over to see me from San Fran, Jasons mate Justin flew down from D.C, and we all made the most of every moment. Too many "handgrenades" and music added to the fun. I really cant sum it all up in the few photos i have posted. But all in all - it was a blast. I would recommend it to anyone. oh and p.s. we blew a tire on the way there, in the pouring rain.... damn hire cars and them not being able to survive a pot hole the size of a small car, couldnt help but laugh at the whole situation though. Anyway, after 6 days of craziness im going to bed. Night. XXXXX
